Abstract

Water resource system optimization problems are characterized by large-scale mathematical models. In this paper we approach a linear approximation of the problem with the aim of comparing general purpose highly-efficient computational public-domain software as well as commercial codes. While comparing, we take into account different size water systems and different sizes of design and management constraints. 1 Introduction Significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of algo- rithms for large scale water-resource-optimization-problems ( WROP], as the resulting model frequently shows a special net-structured kernel which
