Method of dynamic programming for the choice of rational water distribution in river delta

The problem of rational water distribution in river delta under condition of water division control is considered. The delta is schematized in the form of oriented graph. The water consumption arrives on entrance top, moving to target tops on arches of water currents, for each waterway function of conditional damage is set. Distribution of waterways consumption with a minimum sum of damages is searched. Problem formalization is stated on technical features of Volga river delta, method of the decision and general algorithm of calculation is offered.
