Abstract: Recent decades have seen great progress in the use of stochastic methods to model aspects of water resource problems. However, the design implications of stochastic modeling have been relatively overlooked. In particular, ...

Abstract: Landfill capacity for both solid and hazardous wastes has become an exhaustible resource in many regions. Once filled, the function of existing landfills can only be replaced by siting new landfills, incineration, export ...

Abstract: The history of the regional water supply system in southernmost Sweden is examined from the perspective of regional public‐works planning and planning under uncertainty. In this case, a history of successful regional water ...

Abstract: A linear programming method is suggested for evaluating and scheduling water conservation measures for deferring or avoiding a single anticipated capacity expansion project. The method is contrasted with long‐run marginal ...

Abstract: In many metropolitan areas it is common for a large central city to sell water to many of its surrounding suburban communities. In the Seattle, Washington metropolitan region, the city (population 494,000) provides water ...

Abstract: The expense and controversy of siting new landfills and solid waste incinerators have brought new urgency to efforts to extend the life of existing landfills. The most common approach taken has been to encourage the recycling ...

Abstract: This technical note develops a simple drought storage allocation rule to minimize evaporative and seepage water losses from a system of reservoirs. Such a rule might have value during a prolonged drought, when the value ...

Abstract: Theoretical hydropower operation rules are derived and discussed for reservoirs in parallel, in series, and single reservoirs for cases where reservoirs typically refill before they empty and for parallel reservoirs when ...
