Information Technology and systems theory with its powerful
mathematical techniques, such as modeling, simulation and optimization,
are very useful tools in the planning, development and management of
water resources. These techniques are even mor
e important in areas
suffering from limited water resources. Their application may contribute
efficiently to the optimal use of the available water resources. The author
has carried out, in cooperation with other researchers, pioneering
experiments of these techniques in Syria, mainly applied to Barada and
Fijeh springs in Damascus area. The present paper aims at presenting
parts of these experiments, study and analysis of the results, beside
revealing the advantage of expanding their application to similar
resources.
