Abstract

A computerized system analysis, using a series of optimization and simulation models, to prepare recommendations of water allocation was developed for use in the State of Arizona. The system was divided into three subsystems; economic, hydrologic-engineering, and one which interfaces the first two. these fit together in a closed loop which can be continuously operated until all inputs are internally consistent. This method has been used to develop technical evaluations of specific areas for use by decision makers.
