It did not allow for the spatial configuration of the system. The solution
found was the optimal one.
1.6. Summary
From the foregoing discussion one can conclude that resolving the
question of the sequencing of capital investment in water resources projects and the choice of reservoir operating rules can be approached by
several methods. The problems that have been solved by simulation and
optimization have grown more complex over the years because of (1) the
increased sophistication of the techniques available, (2) the increased
familiarity of systems analysts with these techniques, and (3) the increased
efficiency of the computers available for implementing the necessary calculations. The next two chapters treat the problem of (1) the timing and
amount of the capital investment, (2) the spatial configuration of the system elements, and (3) the reservoir operating rules, by first formulating a
problem in quantitative terms that is compatible with the solution techniques recommended to solve the problem, and then describing the algorithms that can be applied to resolving the problem.
