Systems thinking approaches are employed to construct a formal decision making methodology
for equitably allocating water among competing users in a river basin when taking into account
both the societal and physical systems aspects of the allocation problem. In particular, within the
societal component of the decision problem, multiple participants, their multiple objectives, equity
principles, and economic factors are considered, while the physical systems part reflects relevant
hydrologic and environmental factors. The Cooperative Water Allocation Model (CWAM)
incorporates these societal and physical systems concerns within the framework of a large-scale
optimization program which is divided into two main steps. Firstly, water is allocated among users
based on existing legal water rights regimes or agreements. Secondly, water and associated
benefits are reallocated among stakeholders to maximize basin-wide welfare. CWAM is applied
to the South Saskatchewan River Basin located in the Canadian province of Alberta to
demonstrate how it can be conveniently applied to a water allocation system of systems problem.

Keith Hipel is University Professor of Systems Design Engineering at the University of
Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, and is Vice President of the Academy of Sciences
which is part of the Royal Society of Canada. Keith thoroughly enjoys mentoring students and
is a recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award and the Award of Excellence in
Graduate Supervision
from the University of Waterloo.
His major research interests are the
development and application of conflict resolution, multiple objective decision making and time
series analysis techniques from a systems design engineering perspective. The main application
areas of these decision technologies are water resources management, hydrology, environmental
engineering and sustainable development. Keith is the author or co-author of 4 books,
11 edited books, more than 200 journal papers, as well as many conference and encyclopedia
articles. He is Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC), Canadian Academy of
Engineering (FCAE), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (FIEEE), Engineering
Institute of Canada (FEIC), International Council on Systems Engineering (FINCOSE), and
the American Water Resources Association (FAWRA). Keith is also a recipient of the
Norbert Wiener Award
from the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC) Society,
Outstanding Contribution Award
from the IEEE SMC Society, Docteur Honoris Causa
from Ecole Centrale de Lille, W.R. Boggess Award from AWRA, and the University of
Waterloo Award for Excellence in Research
,. He has held a Canada Council Killam
Research Fellowship
, Monbusho Kyoto University Visiting Professor Position, Stanley
Vineberg Memorial Visiting Professorship, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
(CNRS) Research Fellowship, and Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellowship.
Moreover, he is a Professional Engineer (PEng) and has carried out consulting activities with
engineering firms, government agencies, and utilities in many countries. Keith is an Associate
Editor of many international journals including the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and
Cybernetics, Part A, Group Decision and Negotiation, and Systems Engineering. Finally, Keith
has been privileged to serve members of the IEEE SMC Society through activities such as
being an elected member of the Board of Governors for a total of nine years since 1990, Vice
President of Publications (1998-1999), Chair of the Strategic Opportunities and Initiatives
Committee (2004-2005), member of the Strategic Planning Task Force (2004-2005), member
of the Executive Committee (2004-2005, 1998-1999), organizer of sessions on Conflict and
Risk Analysis in Systems Management at all of the annual IEEE SMC Conferences since 1991,
member of the IEEE SMC Fellow Selection Committee (2008, 2007, 1998, 1997), and,
currently, Co-Chair of the Technical Committee on Conflict Resolution for which he jointly
received the Most Active SMC Technical Committee Award (2007). On October 8, 2007,
Keith delivered the
opening keynote address entitled gCompetition and Cooperation in Societal
and Technological Systems of Systemsh, at the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Systems,
Man and Cybernetics held at the Delta Centre-Ville, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
