A quadratic programming model of the South Saskatchewan River Basin : user's manual / prepared by Roger Mc Neill.: En39-5/1987E-PDF

"A prototype water-use optimization model for the South Saskatchewan River Basin was developed by staff of the Pacifc and Yukon Region. Quadratic programming was used and solved by the non-linear programming software called MINOS at the University of British Columbia. Access to the model is through the commercial account of Water Planning and Managment Branch at the university. The model can be changed and solved from remote locations using dial-up ports or DATAPAC lines. The model allocates water use in the Basin with the objective of maximizing economic returns over a given year. The Basin is broken down into five sub-basins, with five final use activities over a time period of 12 individual months. The detailed equationla structure of the model and methods of accessing it and editing the relevant files are presented. Many of the relationships are based on preliminary data or rough estimates. However the basic structure of the model wil not have to be significantly changed once better data have been obtained"--Abstract, p. i.
