by comparison with the cost
of the necessary number of

such number of single-purpose dams could be built, of

method simply would be left
out altogether.
The problem is how the
total cost of a multiple-purpose dam is to be allocated
among the types of beneficiaries so that each benefit

method equitable distribution of costs is sought by requiring each purpose to carry
at least the cost involved in
including that particular purpose inthe multiple-purpose
. project, This would include,
for example, the cost of the
space provided for flood control,
At the same time there is
recognition of a maximum
allocation limit corresponding to the benefits whether
flood control, irrigation or
whatever,
You cannot allot more than
the benefit to be derived, in
other words,
Within these mimmmum and
maximum limits there is provision for proportional sharing of the savings resulting
from multiple-purpose development. The savings are
