Abstract

ABSTRACT The relative economic costs of meeting projected public potable water demands through increasing the supply, controlling the demand, and increasing the capacity for interagency water transfers are explored. These alternatives and combinations are evaluated with the aid of a linear programming model in northeastern New Jersey, a major metropolitan region of over 4.5 million people, for the years 1975 to 2000. After more than 30 model tests it was found that a combination of increased interagency transfers and added water supplies was the least expensive solution.
