The Social Consequences of River Basin Development

The Plata River Basin: International Basin Development and Riverine Fisheries

Environmental changes in large river basins are subject to forces external to the water and to biological issues. Before 1960, the Plata River Basin was almost undeveloped. The regulation of the Parana for hydroelectricity has been increasing since the early 1970s. Water in reservoirs of the upper Parana Basin currently comprises more than 70 percent of the mean annual discharge at its confluen...

Social Learning in River Basin Management

Optimal Staging of Russian River Basin Development

A planning model for a river basin development is constructed and applied to the Russian River Basin in California. Using dynamic programming methods, the problem is set in both deterministic and stochastic frameworks. In the latter, future population in the region and the corresponding time-dependent, price-sensitive demand relationships for water are projected with stochastic disturbance. A l...
