Models about river basin

[Jorge Orellana Araoz]

I am interested in SD models about river basin, or references to such
models or papers/articles etc.

Best Regards,

Hello Jorge Araoz

Here are some references to the work in Water Resources (River Basin)
using SD models. Hope this will serve as a good starting point for your
work.

In reply to a similar query some time last year Jay W. Forrester
mentioned Probably the first system dynamics book on water resources:

Hamilton, H. R., S. E. Goldstone, J. W. Milliman, A. L. Pugh III, E. B.
Roberts, and A. Zellner, 1969. System Simulation for Regional Analysis:
An
Application to River-Basin Planning, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. 407 pp.

The book is undoubtedly out of print, but copies may be available in
various places.
