Constrained conjunctive-use for endogenously separable water markets: managing the Waihole–Waikane aqueduct
研究了当水在空间和时间上不能完全替代时,如何通过约束性联合利用地表水和地下水来分配有限的水资源,并应用于夏威夷两个供水区的实际问题。
An internal solution to an optimal control problem involving conjunctive-use of surface and groundwater may be inapplicable if water is not sufficiently fungible across space and time. We provide a more general solution and apply it to the problem of allocating a limited amount of water from the Ko'olau mountains to two Oahu water districts separated by those mountains. The solution involves initially allocating all of the mountain water to the district supplied by groundwater but eventually allocating all of the water to the district supplied by surface water. The conditions for an internal solution hold only in the intervening years when some mountain water is allocated to each district. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
