Case Report on Multiple Pathologies in an Adolescent Sickle Cell Disease Patient in Ghana

Abstract

Sequential decision theory is used to develop a framework for derivation of optimal groundwater policies focused on temporal allocation. The primary criterion of choice is expected present value of net output from the basin, and dispersion of net output is introduced as a secondary consideration. The expected-present-value function and its associated rate-of-use function under an optimal policy are discussed in the context of net social benefit as pre- requisites to an economic solution to the problems of commonality encoun- tered in the use of water from groundwater basins.
