A Methodology for Assessing the Regional Interrelationships of Water Resources, Energy Supply and Economic Development; Water/Energy/Economic Development Project. Proceedings of the Workshop Held at Boston, Massachusetts on October 4-5, 1979

摘要

This workshop was designed to fulfill in part, specific objectives of the first phase of a research program begun in May 1979 by the New England Council of Water Center Directors to develop an integrated planning method to analyze the dynamic relationship between water, energy, and economic patterns in New England. Five issue papers were presented. The first four reviewed existing methodologies for projecting water and energy demands, electrical energy supply, and economic development patterns; the fifth paper linked the concepts to establish a provisional framework for understanding the basic relationships in the energy/water/economic development system.
