Abstract |
Results are presented of an assessment of diversion losses for power generation and pollution abatement that would accrue to the Pacific Northwest if water were diverted above Brownlee Dam on the Snake River or above McNary Dam on the Columbia River. The tool of analysis is dynamic programming. A six-dam, twelve-time-period model with 50,544 states per stage was constructed and computed. Data for the value per acre-foot for power generation is derived for all Snake-Columbia system dams using the expected cost during the decade 1970-1980 of replacing the lost water by nuclear capability. Using this together with well-known data for pollution abatement, an assessment of losses due to diversion for power generation and pollution-abatement is arrived at. |
