Planning Models for Urban Water Supply Expansion. Volume 2. Cost Allocation Policies for Regional Water Supply Systems

摘要

A three-volume report was developed relative to the modelling of investment strategies for regional water supply planning. Volumes 2 and 3 are successive parts of the research related to the study of cost allocation policies among participants in a regional system. Such policies are evaluated and two methods, the Proportional Use of Facilities and the Shapley Value, are distinguished from the other techniques for practicality and theoretical soundness considerations, respectively. The Shapley Value method is then extended for the case of cost allocation over time.
