Economic-Engineering Optimization for California Water Management
An economic-engineering optimization model of California’s major water supply system is presented. The model’s development, calibration, limitations, and results are reviewed. The major methodological conclusions are that large-scale water resources optimization models driven by economic objective functions are both possible and practical; deterministic models are useful despite their limitatio...
متن کاملAn Economic Threshold for Thrips in California Timothy
Timothy is grown as a high value forage crop in California. Thrips (Anaphothrips obscurus Müller) have recently been implicated causing damage by increasing the quantity of brown leaves and lowering the value of this crop. Minimal studies have explored the relation of thrips levels to yield and damage in timothy and management options for this pest are extremely limited. We performed studies in...
متن کاملAn economic evaluation of community water fluoridation.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this research was to assess the local cost savings resulting from community water fluoridation, given current exposure levels to other fluoride sources. METHODS Adopting a societal perspective and using a discount rate of 4 percent, we compared the annual per person cost of fluoridation with the cost of averted disease and productivity losses. The latter was the produ...
متن کاملThe application of economic-engineering optimisation for water management in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.
Mathematical optimisation is used to integrate and economically evaluate wastewater reuse, desalination and other water management options for water supply in Ensenada, Baja California Mexico with future levels of population and water demand. The optimisation model (CALVIN) is used to explore and integrate water management alternatives such as water markets, reuse and seawater desalination, wit...
متن کاملEconomic values for conjunctive use and water banking in southern California
[1] The potential and limitations of conjunctive use of surface and groundwater are explored for southern California’s water supply system. An economic-engineering network flow optimization model, CALVIN, is used to analyze the economic and reliability benefits from different conjunctive use alternatives. Flexible management of additional conjunctive use facilities and groundwater storage capac...
