Design of Water-Resource Systems [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] Introduction. The purpose of this book is to improve the methodology of designing water-resource systems. In this respect it differs basically from the many volumes on water resources published in the last decade, which have been concerned mainly with governmental organization for development of resources, the economics of project evaluation, and the collection and evaluation of basic data. Systematic research on the methodology of system design, such as underlies this book, has been neglected in spite of the marked growth during the last quarter-century of public interest in multiunit, multipurpose river developments. Indeed, few comprehensive statements on methods of design have appeared since the now-classic reports of Arthur Morgan and his associates of the Miami (Ohio) Conservancy District on their work during the second decade of this century. Some important additions to their writings were made in the 1930's, to be sure, when the U. S. Government became interested in multipurpose river development, and certain refinements did follow when high-speed digital computers became available to engineers and economists, but on the whole considerably less attention has been paid to system design since 1935 than to many other aspects of water-resource development. This book reports the results of research on system design conducted over several years by the Harvard Water Program of the Graduate School of Public Administration.
