A mixed binary integer linear program is formulated to determine the economic development of marginal groundwater sources at local demand sites in an arid region. These marginal sources are required to augment the supply from an overloaded regional source. The model accounts for variable costs...

An optimal decision and control model was developed and used for dual purpose allocation of water from a reservoir. The model was constructed for the Hazbani-Dan Water System in the Upper Galilee (Israel). In this system about half of the Dan River water enters and is stored in a reservoir and...

Forecasting urban water demand can be of use in the management of water utilities. For example, activities such as water-budgeting, operation and maintenance of pumps, wells, reservoirs, and mains require quantitative estimations of water resources at specified future dates. In this study, we...
