Abstract |
That portion of Wyoming within the North Platte River Basin is likely to feel substantial pressure for development in the next decade. The availability and cost of water will be important considerations in future development plans for this area. This study examines the potential for designing an economic model of the Basin, using simulation techniques of analysis, for use in evaluating development impacts that are likely to occur in the near future. A hydrologic model of the Basin is also being developed, using simulation techniques, and it is intended that the two models will eventually be integrated. (Modified author abstract). |
