Overlaying levels of planning and management, as a result of uncoordinated water resources regions, hamper Integrated Water Resources Management. In order to harmonize multiple objectives and better represent the interaction between environmental, socio-economic, political and historical aspects, it becomes imperative to define appropriate territorial limits for water resources planning and management. The present study introduces an approach to support the process of delineating water resources regions. It is based both on recognition of more comprehensive aspects and incorporation of those aspects into a decision support system. This paper describes how cluster analysis is applied in the model design. Dynamic Programming is selected as the suitable method to be combined with Cluster Analysis to improve the algorithm efficiency.born digitalproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
