Abstract

The paper details findings from a study for the New Jersey Water Authority to best balance the safe yield of the Raritan River Basin, based on fifty years of historical daily flow data, with the related energy costs to develop the yield. Since some potential safe yield must be sacrificed to maintain reasonable energy costs, the study was needed to justify the risk/reward aspects associated with proper management of the river basin by the Authority. The findings and the methodologies used in the study have definite application to other river basin managers in a decision-making role. (Edited author abstract. )
