北美各地的水资源机构越来越频繁地发现，旧的资源规划方法已不再有效。在很大程度上，旧方法正在失败，因为供应商必须尝试满足需求的环境已经改变。本文描述了一个详细的水资源综合规划框架，该框架已被调整并应用于多家水资源供应商，包括内华达州南部水务局。内华达州南部的应用程序用于说明该方法的主要组成部分。包括14个参考文献、表格和图表。

Water agencies across North America are discovering with increasing frequency that the old approaches to resource planning are no longer effective. In large part, the old approaches are failing because the context within which suppliers must attempt to meet demand has changed. A detailed water integrated resource planning framework is described that has been adapted and applied to several water purveyors, including the Southern Nevada Water Authority. The application in Southern Nevada is used to illustrate major components of the approach. Includes 14 references, tables, figures.
