The author, an experienced engineer, focuses on estimating the potential power output of Kennett Reservoir, a major unit of the plan, through the operation of the reservoir in accordance with three primary purposes: flood and salinity control, and irrigation. The author presents five distinct plans for the financing of the development and analyzes the potential revenue from power to understand the extent of financing through electric power revenue. The author also examines the ability of the market to absorb the output of Kennett Reservoir, determining that over 65% of the power market tributary to Kennett is located within 50 miles of San Francisco and is currently served by two primary companies. The author concludes that with reasonable cooperation and coordination between the state and existing agencies, the absorption of Kennett output will present no serious difficulties, and further, that other revenue sources such as state or federal aid, sale of water for irrigation, or payments by other beneficiaries will be needed to cover the full cost of amortization of state bonds. This book provides valuable insights into the economic and engineering factors associated with water resource development and offers a detailed analysis of a specific major project and development plan.
