Optimal allocation of water in the Okanagan River Basin / prepared by Roger McNeill.En37-307/1987E-PDF

"The objective of this study is to demonstrate the use of linear programming as a planning tool in the allocation of water within a river basin. A linear programming model is developed which maximizes economic benefits from water use in the Okanagan River Basin of British Columbia. Many activities including agriculture, recreation, domestic use and sport fishing compete for the sometimes scarce water supplies in this Basin. The model allocates water among these activities subject to water supply, storage and resource constraints. An average water supply year, broken down into seven time periods is represented by the model. The solution represents a sustainable allocation of water over time in that no long term depletion of stored water is allowed"--Abstract, page i.
