SADCoRH A Dynamic System to Solve Conflicts in the Use of Water through the Generation of Rules by Genetic Algorithms

The sustainability of the water uses in the future depends on the planning and the rational management of water resources. As many governments around the world, Brazil has endorsed in 1997 the federal law 9.433 on water resources, which previews the development of management tools to support decision making on how to use and regulate the rights of rational water use. This work presents a computational tool, based on genetics algorithms, able to optimize water use allocation. The system is validated in a case study in the Cuiaba river basin, in Mato Grosso State, Brazil.
