The optimize-waterallocation.jl script optimizes the joint extraction of surface and groundwater withdrawals and reservoir storage to satisfy given water demands. It produces four files:

  • withdrawals.jld: The amount withdrawn from each gauge along each canal.
  • returns.jld: The amount returned to each gauge along each canal.
  • captures.jld: The amount stored in each reservoir from one period to the next.
  • waterfromgw.jld: The amount of pumped water from the groundwater for each county.

How does the optimal division between ground and surface water differ from the recorded values?

First, let's take the recorded values.
