Measuring the Long-Term Regional Benefits of Salinity Reduction

Characklis, Gregory W.; Griffin, Ronald C.; Bedient, … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 30 (2005) 01

Approaches for evaluating salinity management benefits are generalized and extended to incorporate consideration of desalination and long-term changes in salinity concentration and water use patterns. Previous research indicates urban users incur the vast majority of salinity-related damages in...

An Inexact Chance-constrained Quadratic Programming Model for Stream Water Quality Management

Qin, X.; Huang, G. - In: Water Resources Management 23 (2009) 4, pp. 661-695

in formulating and solving the resulting inexact nonlinear optimization problems. In this study, an inexact chance …-point-source waste reduction (MWR) optimization model as water-quality constraints. The interval quadratic polynomials were employed to …. The results demonstrated that the proposed optimization model could effectively communicate uncertainties into the …

Product Policy as an Instrument for Water Quality Management

Ast, J. Van; Blansch, K.; Boons, F.; Slingerland, S. - In: Water Resources Management 19 (2005) 2, pp. 187-198

A main reason for the persistence of current water pollution lies in the diffuse character of many of its sources. For a large part such diffuse pollution is related to the production, use and waste of various kinds of products. For the reduction of this pollution, a product-oriented policy...

Hydrodynamic Model of the Lower Hudson River Estuarine System and its Application for Water Quality Management

Novikov, Andrei; Bagtzoglou, Amvrossios - In: Water Resources Management 20 (2006) 2, pp. 257-276

In this paper a hydrodynamic model and associated post-processing tools for the Lower Hudson River (LHR) are presented. The model computes the two-dimensional (2D), depth-averaged Eulerian time-dependent velocity field in response to various external signals. The paper documents the mathematical...

Refill and Drawdown Rules for Parallel Reservoirs: Quantity and Quality

Paredes, Javier; Lund, Jay - In: Water Resources Management 20 (2006) 3, pp. 359-376

This paper presents two operating rules for the refill and drawdown seasons of reservoirs in parallel for water supply, considering water quality. For the refill season a Linear Programming form of the New York City Rule is developed. Another Linear Programming form based on equalizing the...

The Impact of Water Quality on Southern California Beach Recreation: A Finite Mixture Model Approach

Hilger, James; Hanemann, W. Michael - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, … - 2008

This paper uses a finite mixture logit (FML) model to investigate the heterogeneity of preferences of beach users for water quality at beaches in Southern California. The results are compared with conventional approaches based conditional logit (CL) and random parameters logit (RPL). The FML...
