next 12 years. The expected annual operating cost would be Rs. 300,000.er 12 years, a

second dam and additional treatment facility would be constructed with an additional

operating cost of Rs. 250,000. The second alternative calls for the construction of a single

large storage dam whch together with a new treatment plant would cost Rs. 6200000. The

annual operating cost is Rs.260,000 for the first 12 years. After 12 years additional

treatment facilities would be added for Rs. 500,000 and annual operating cost would be

Rs. 320,000. Examine which of the two alternatives is better for adoption. Rate of interest

may be assumed uniform at 8%. (Use present worth and rate of return method)

(b) Dam at site A

(c) Dam at site B

(d) Dam at site A with channel improvement

(e) Dam at site B with channel improvement

The investment, average annual flood damage and annual operation and maintenance charges

for each of the alternative projects are listed in Table 1. The average flood damage without

flood control is Rs. 35 lakhs. Assuming life of dam as 100 years, life of channel

improvement as 30 years and a rate of interest of 8%, determine which of the project

alternatives should be adopted as the most economical in design.
