| Abstract | Dynamic programing was used to determine capacity expansion
needs for the Bangkok-Thonburi water supply system. The capacity cost relationship was established and economies of scale deter mined. The capacity of water supply system was expanded on the assumption
that economies of scale and interest rate would be constant.
Two cases have been considered for capacity expansion. In the first case it was assumed that capacity would be expanded at equal construction interval while the second case was generalized. Regression analysis was ·used to predict water demand. Two types of mathematical models were formulated and tested for their applicability using the F-test. · Comparison of actual-data-with theoretical was made by using percentage· variation method.
It was concluded that for long range planning, the polynomial models were preferable to exponential models. In order to determine operations· and maintenance cost, available
data was analyzed and the relationship of cost-components over time was established.
By knowing total cost for extra- capacity to be provided and corresponding operation and maintenance costs determined
for a different time periods depending upon optimum time interval, water pricing policy by using incremental block rate was established. |
