Abstract: An economic-engineering modeling approach is presented for integrating urban water supply reliability analysis with shortage management options such as dry year option and spot market water transfers, water reuse, and long- ...

Abstract: This paper explores the potential and limitations for southern California water markets using an economic-engineering network flow optimization model, CALVIN. CALVIN is used to estimate how a market would affect overall ...

Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a large-scale economic-engineering optimization model of California’s water supply system. The results of this 4-year effort illustrate the value of optimization modeling for providing ...
