Abstract
TOPAZ can be applied to a variety of water-related problems in addition to those concerned with the costs of urban and regional level services. As an example, in fitting with the larger geographical context in the preceding chapter, it would be possible to use TOPAZ for helping to plan an overall regional water system, including the location of water storage spaces, power plants, and irrigation areas, and the selection of the capacities and times of development of each (9.1 and 9.2) .
