Water resource management is an important issue that involves several factors such as economics, social, politician, among others, for its adequate administration. Water can be classified according to its usage purposes since it is used for human consumption, industrial usage, agriculture, etc. Thus, correct strategies to manage this vital liquid are essential to effectively use it. This paper studies water management from a mathematical optimization approach by considering factors and constraints that may suit real-world conditions. The proposed mathematical model is based on the classical transportation problem, which is well-known in the literature. We perform an empirical evaluation of the proposed model using off-the-shelf optimization software over a set of proposed instances, and the results show the feasibility of the proposal. Finally, we discuss the faced challenges in the research and possible future research directions that may help the management of water resources from a computational approach.
