This dissertation deals with diverse, yet interrelated empirical and conceptual problems encountered in integrated water resources planning and management . Particular attention is paid to the proposition of an integrated water resources development and management policy in a typical sub-Himalayan river basin in Nepal - the Tinao River Basin. Both the surface and ground water resources are assessed and analyzed for the irrigation development of the basin; alternative schemes are identified and evaluated. The combined use of surface and ground water has great advantage when it is necessary to utilize water resources which are limited and variable in time and space, to their optimum. Incorporation of artificial ground water recharge is recognized as a promising solution to various water management related problems both from economic and environmental considerations. Another important key to the evolution of the integrated water management policy is the basinwide planning and management approach. Working mathematical tools for analyzing and optimizing integrated use of surface and ground water resources for irrigation are developed and applied to the illustrative basin . A solution strategy based on physical decomposition of a large system and solution by a multilevel iterative technique is also developed. This scheme allows us to determine detailed cropping patterns in various parts of the basin, and simultaneously derive system design capacities and monthly water allocation policies. The results of the model application to the study basin indicate that both the surface and ground water irrigation facilities should be developed for obtaining optimum agricultural benefit. The management policy is to use ground water when the surface supplies are too low; and when the surface supplies are in excess, surpluses would be used to replenish the ground water shortages by artificial recharge. The separate yields of surface water and ground water developments would be replaced by the larger and more economical joint yields of the combined resources.
