Abstract

The premise of this study is to determine a method of assessing the environmental risk to the Murray-Darling Basin system and trying to minimise that risk whilst still making a reasonable financial return. I will begin my research by looking at a stochastic dynamic programming (SDP)model for the multi-reservoir system of the Murray-Darling Basin using decomposition, aggregation and iterative processes. Then I will incorporate conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) into the model to evaluate the environmental risk to the system. My objective is to maximise supply for critical human needs whilst minimising environmental damage to the system.
