Synopsis

This book examines river basin planning and resource allocation through a case study, the Ashuelot River in New Hampshire. The author builds a linear programming model encompassing 132 equations and 218 activities, including water use, pollution, pollution treatment, and transfer activities. By employing this model, the author evaluates the economics of various uses and cost allocation of surface-water resources. The primary topics of interest are the costs and benefits of providing water and waste-water treatment, as well as the economic threshold where direct discharge of untreated wastewater into the river becomes optimal. The author also scrutinizes the effects of river flow levels, quality, and projected population growth on resource use and allocation. The book's insights provide valuable guidance for policymakers and planners seeking efficient and sustainable management of surface-water resources.
