or,
How dammed should the river be?

Previous approaches
• Meet predetermined (inelastic) demand,
and find probability (and costs?) of failing
to “meet” the demand.
• Burness and Quirk, 1978: “The Theory of
the Dam: An Application to the Colorado
River” - uses elastic demand.

Outline
• The basic scenario
• “Theory of the Dam”
• Fundamental intertemporal condition
• Optimal reservoir size
• Application: Colorado River

My starting point
Think about getting the most out of a
predetermined resource --
go beyond meeting a predetermined
(inelastic) “demand” with a certain
reliability.

“Optimal size”
maximize diversions
from a stochastic flow using
storage

The Physical Problem
• Single stochastic inflow
• Reservoir storage upstream from use
• Loss (e.g. evaporation) is a function of
storage
• Single use below reservoir

The Objective
Maximize the beneficial use of water over time, where marginal benefits of use in each time are defined by a demand function:
p(x) = x 1/ , where is the price elasticity of demand.

Conclusions
• Optimal reservoir storage is a function of the price elasticity
of demand, evaporation losses, and variance of inflow.
• Existing capacities may be greater than optimal given
evaporation losses.

Future work
• Add more realistic decisionmaking: Monte Carlo
approach to future flows.
• Add more realistic inflow distributions, including
autocorrelation.
• Define more precisely “maximum” reservoir
size.
