| Abstract |
Urbanization in arid regions has been accelerating at a tremendous rate. This type of growth has taken place in the Las Vegas Valley in Southern Nevada and will likely continue elsewhere as the country's population expands. This report's purpose is to examine some of the many facets of water resources developments which have occurred to support the growth in the Las Vegas Valley, with the ultimate objective of optimizing the entire water resource system. The history and economy of the area are dealt with in detail. Estimates of current and future value of water are made, with projections of future population growth and water requirements. Laws and institutions developed to control and manage the area water resources are examined. Potential legal problems are presented and discussed. Physical characteristics of the area's water resources and water production systems are described. Mathematical models are developed which relate water costs to system usage and response. (Author) |
