Abstract | The purpose was to identify those general management policies that could lead to enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of the use of the water resources of the Pecos River in New Mexico. The report reviewed the existing situation in the Pecos Basin and the potential value of restudying some of the elements of the supply system. Many conventional techniques used in hydrologic work were employed, such as synthetic inflow-outflow studies, and the coupling of linear and dynamic programming models. Results of the analytical work are presented in a management-decision model for the Roswell Artesian Basin, and in a stochastic model of the storage, routing, and use of available surface water.
