Abstract
This paper presents an overview of various water resources developmentoptions such as groundwater, surface water desalination, interbasinwater transfer, use of treated waste effluents, and irrigation return flow in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Cost-capacity models are developed for each alternative. Using both quantitative and qualitative statistics of each option, the cost minimization function in terms of allocated capacities is developed for a selected region in the Kingdom and the constraints on demand, supply, and quality are also defined. Considering various scenarios of water conservation options, the optimum plan for allocation and development of each option is formulated.
