Naturally, rain and spring water is drained from its catchment areas to the sea through a tributaries and main river system. However, to store and bring the water to the right place and at the right time, water storages and man made channels should be added to the river system. Together, the natural and man-made channels, create a hydrosystem that is able to support the water that is needed by the region for its development. A number of hydrosystem scenarios can be created, where hydraulic modeling is required to evaluate and understand the system's behaviour. Furthermore hydraulic simulations can be performed to look for an optimum solution in term of the least cost for providing a cumec of water or to fulfil other criteria.
4.1 Introduction The logical framework approach (LFA) was first adopted by U.S. AID in the early 1970s. The framework provides a set of designing tools that, when used creatively, can be used for planning, designing, implementing and evaluating projects (the entire project cycle). The purpose of LFA is to undertake participatory, objectives-oriented planning that spans the life of project or policy work to build stakeholder's team commitment and capacity, through a series of workshops. The technique requires stakeholders to come together in a series of workshops to set priorities and plan for implementation and monitoring. This achieved by structuring the main elements of project in a matrix (the logical framework) which summarizes the project, highlighting logical linkages between intended inputs, planned activities and expected results and records the underlying assumption. See Figure 4.1, for the content of framework matrix and how to read the LFA. 4.2 Steps in Logic
