Simulation As A Technique For Evaluating Water In Competing Uses, Dennis Norman Detray May 1967

Simulation As A Technique For Evaluating Water In Competing Uses, Dennis Norman Detray

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This thesis is a methodological study of a technique of analysis known as simulation, with special reference to developing economic-cum-hydrologic models of complex real world water resource systems.

It is the eventual goal of this project to develop a complete economic and hydrologic computer model of Cache County, Utah, to further test the applicability of simulation to water resource problems. Although no modeling is carried out, Cache County is used as a foundation for judging the technique within this thesis.

Of the several approaches to simulation which were reviewed, Forrester's (1961) methods, and the use of DYNAMO as a simulation …
