Using System Dynamics to Simulate the Urban Area Development and Water Resources

Water resource consumption is certainly one of the most complicated and delicate issues in planning and developing an urban area. Supply and demand on a single line is very easy to handle. However, with growing population and expanding city parameters, intertwined water pipes get ever so complicated and subsequently water management becomes an enormous task. Fortunately, with the help of system dynamics analysis, this enormous task can be broken down into easy-to-manage and understand steps not only to water managers but also to the general public. Hence, in this paper, we adopt System Dynamics to build a water consumption model of Taipei region to give a clear view of water demand per capita, and to illustrate variations of the water supply versus consumption in the coming one hundred years.
