Abstract: A management model is developed that uses a nonlinear programming approach to solve the optimal control problem of managing the generation and disposal of agricultural and dairy waste. The permissible controls are subject ...

Abstract: This paper applies two-stage stochastic quadratic programming to optimize conjunctive use operations of groundwater pumping and artificial recharge with farmer’s expected revenue and cropping decisions. The two-stage ...

Abstract: This paper employs an economic-engineering optimization model to explore water supply options for environmental restoration of the Colorado River Delta, Mexico. Potential water sources include reductions in local agricultural ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper presents an agroeconomic approach to assess the economic impact of improving nitrogen and irrigation management practices in California’s Tulare Lake Basin and the Salinas Valley. The approach employs a ...
