Best Practices in Water Resources Planning

[edit] Overview of Planning
In general, planning is analysis to identify a "best" set of actions to attain a more desirable future for someone (some intended beneficiary). Planning analyses vary in scope, scale and level of detail, according to:
- who is the intended beneficiary (ex: a country, a community, a business, an individual)
- what types of future conditions are desired
- what range of actions will be considered for attaining the future conditions.
[edit] Generic Problem to be Solved
In general, planning analyses are initiated because someone (possibly the intended beneficiary) perceives that planning is needed. That is, someone perceives a "problem" (that the future condition is not likely to meet expectations) or someone perceives an "opportunity" (that the future condition could be better if some actions were taken).
