Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The general objective of this study is to test the applicability of simulation in evaluating water resource development projects and to test alternative resource management policies for an actual river basin system. A secondary objective is to test the applicability of DYNAMO simulation language for river basin modeling. The authors will demonstrate that simulation can be a useful tool to decision makers in tracing the consequence of management decisions before their implementation. Thus, part of the uncertainty due to finite comprehension of the operation of an entire system can be removed. The authors will also show that DYNAMO is a well suited simulation language for river basin problems. The remainder of this report is divided into three sections. Part II reviews existing techniques in river basin planning and introduces the simulation approach used in this study. Part III describes the Calapooia River basin system and the project design problem. Part IV summarizes the results obtained from the computer runs of the model.
