Evaluating Water Policy Options By Simulation, Ann W. Peralta, Richard C. Peralta, Keyvan Asghari

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

Computer simulation models are used to predict the effects of three sample water policy decisions on selected conjunctive water use/sustained groundwater yield strategies for the Arkansas Grand Prairie. The three applications illustrate the facility of the target objective approach in providing an interface for legal, economic and engineering analysis. The approach is used to evaluate potential water management decisions at the judicial, legislative and water management district levels
