PHASE II - TASK 8: EVALUATION OF
YIELDS AND COSTS OF MULTI-ELEMENT
ALTERNATIVES

TASK DESCRIPTION:

Each of the three multi-element alternatives
formulated in Task 7 will be evaluated on the basis
of: (a) Yielo, (b) Costs, (c) Social Issues and (d)
Environmental Issues. Task 8 will include the yield
and cost components of this evaluation process. The
yield of eacb multi-element alternative will be
evaluated such that the deficit under Design
Conditions will be eliminated. Therefore, each
alternative will be considered equal in rank by yield
since the level of Plan Element(s) implementation
considered will result in a net yield (and deficit)
of zero (0). Cost considerations will be made based
on 1987 equivalent dollars. The cost of each
alternative will be estimated as the sum of
acquisitional costs (including land acquisition, road
relocations, and potential improvements to water
conveyance systems), design, construction and
engineering costs (related to development of each
alternative), and costs related to annual operation
and repair, and replacement costs.

TASK OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this task is
quantitative evaluation of each
alternative based on net system yield

to provide a
multi-element
and cos to

METHODOLOGY:

Yield:

Vhere appropriate, the net system yield of each multi-element alternative
will be evaluated utilizing the water supply model(s) revised in Task 2.
The levels of Plan Elements(s) implementation considered in each
alternative will be refined through an iterative process, in which the
levels of implementation will be determined which will result in a yield
(and deficit) of zero (0) at minimuJII cost. Each alternative will then be
considered equal in terms of producing the required yield, and
consequently, may be evaluated ano ranked in this and subsequent tasks
according to cost, social issues, and environmental issues.
