Abstract:
Chapter 7 develops four environmental management applications using mathematical models. The management of open-access fishing zones is of concern to many governments. A theory of fisheries is developed in which two concepts are explained - maximum sustainable yield recommended by some marine biologists and optimum sustainable yield recommended by economists. The management of fossil fuel reserves (coal, oil and gas) must take into account the price dependence of the available quantity for future extraction. The basic idea is that in the exploitation of these resources, the net price of reserves should increase in line with the market interest rate. Various factors are discussed which may affect this principle. The management of lakes and reservoirs is certainly based on an understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes and the correct formulation of mass and energy balances. Finally, the experience of dealing with the problem of combined sewer overflow abatement in the large metropolitan centre of New York is presented.
