The development design (100) includes a new development icon (101) and a redevelopment icon (102). The new development icon represents a new residential development that may include many lots and open spaces. The redevelopment icon represents a commercial redevelopment. The lines between the icons represent flow of water and thus dependencies. For example, line (105) between the new development icon (101) and the routing flow icon (103) represents the runoff flowing from the new development to a channel or overland flow plane. Similarly, line (106) between the redevelopment icon (102) and the routing flow icon (103) represents the runoff flowing from the redevelopment to the channel or overland flow plane. The aggregation icon (104) represents combining the soil infiltration of the new development represented by line (107) and the soil infiltration of the redevelopment represented by line (108) resulting in the aggregate infiltration for the development design. Line 109 represents the runoff from the redevelopment that is not routed. Icon (110) represents various graphs of the simulated water flow. Icons (111), (112), and (113) allow a user to specify and view various attributes of the development design. For example, the environmental condition icon (111) is used to set the rainfall and evapotranspiration attributes. The soil types icon (112) is used to specify the types of soil found in the development. The land use icon (113) is used to summarize the various land uses within the development. The evolutionary optimizer icon (114) is used to specify constraints and the objective function for the optimization process. ':he watershed protection criteria (115) is used to establish various levels for watershed protection such as peak flow, flow volume, or water quality. The user specifies the level or combinations of levels, and the modeling system highlights any excedences based on the simulation results.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de modélisation d'un débit d'eau dans le cadre d'un programme de réhabilitation d'un bassin hydrographique. Le système de modélisation permet à un utilisateur de créer une représentation graphique des différentes zones d'aménagement d'un site d'exploitation. La représentation graphique montre les débits d'eau entre les différentes zones. L'utilisateur peut également indiquer les attributs de chaque zone, tels que le taux d'infiltration, le coefficient de ruissellement, la taille, le taux d'évapotranspiration, etc. Le système de modélisation peut simuler l'incidence des pluies sur le plan d'aménagement. La simulation détermine le débit d'eau entrant dans chaque zone et le débit d'eau sortant de chaque zone. Le résultat de cette simulation peut être utilisé pour évaluer le plan de développement et l'adapter pour atteindre l'équilibre des avantages et des coûts désiré pour les critères de choix pour la protection du bassin hydrographique.
