Abstract: The technical framework of the IRWMS (Integrated Real-time Water Management System) was developed by support of the long-term New Frontier Research Program (2001 – 2010) of Korean Government securing additional water resources in a sustainable, non-structural manner by developing and implementing advanced water management technology. The basin water management toolkit, IRWMS, supports a coordinated multiple reservoir system operation considering not only water quantity and water quality simultaneously, but also water use priority, and maximization of water benefit. The optimal behavior of the systems under uncertainty is determined based on the physically based long-term meteorologic forecast. The IRWMS developed for the Geum river basin in Korea consists of a variety of coordinated sub-models; hydrometeorological forecast model, basin-wide continuous rainfall- runoff analysis model, reservoirs system simulation and optimization models, river and reservoir water quality simulation models and real time water information system. This paper pertains to the needs, objectives, and the formulated framework of the developing decision support tools used in the future implementation plan. 6424 September 11~16, 2005, Seoul, Korea
