dc.descriptionFrom the Proceedings of the 1983 Meetings of the Arizona Section - American Water Resources Assn. and the Hydrology Section - Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science - April 16, 1983, Flagstaff, Arizonaen_US
dc.description.abstractArizona's water resources system consists primarily of four active management areas (Tucson, Phoenix, Pinal and Prescott), the Central Arizona Project, and the Salt River Project. The problem of water allocation among user categories involves pumping from aquifers and diversions of surface flows. In systems less complex than Arizona, allocation policies may appear obvious. In this case, however, a two-level hierarchical management model is proposed to control water allocation to users: the active management areas as a lower echelon, and the Arizona Department of Water Resources at the higher level. A system theoretic approach combined with recent developments in the decentralized control theory are proposed to be included in the model. A significant characteristic of the proposed model is the ability to consider possible interactions among the active management areas as a result of policy decisions at the State level. A dynamic optimization model based on a state space formulation with total energy required as the objective function is solved for each of the subsystems. Detailed information thus generated at the regional level is then appropriately aggregated for statewide decision making. An iterative algorithm is suggested.
