Socio-Economic Studies of the Upper St. Johns River Basin, Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District.

摘要

Procedures for assessing the technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects of the proposed Upper St. Johns water resources project are presented. Following the presentation of a general framework for water resources investigations, the social aspects of the problem are examined using field survey procedures combined with a simulation model. The economic-environmental planning analysis is performed using a multi-objective mathematical programming model. Energy productivity is used as a surrogate for environmental quality. Results are presented in terms of undominated developmental alternatives. Detailed environmental analysis is performed using a continuous simulation model which examines the hydrologic and environmental quality implications of various alternatives.
