This paper presents an overview of decision support systems (DSSs) as applied to water management. This includes the definition of DSSs as pertinent to water management, its basic components, various techniques employed in development of DSSs, and technological and conceptual trends in DSSs. The application of DSSs in various areas of water management such as water resource management, water and wastewater treatment operations, water distribution systems, and infrastructure asset management is discussed. Calibration and validation of DSSs and future research in the development of new generations of DSSs is presented.
