A sequential iterative modeling process for a complex water resources system is described. Two types of analytical models are used to find a reasonably small set of possible systems optimal design alternatives for a complex river basin. These models are a linear programing deterministic continuous (LPDC) model and a linear programing deterministic discontinuous (LPDD) model. Linear programing has been used with linear approximation of the nonlinear functions. A simulation program has been developed which continues screening on the basis of the information obtained from the linear programing model. The models are developed in the context of analysis of the Narmada River, a large river basin in India, for which in the first instance alternative combinations and capacities of six major dams have to be decided.
