“…Operations research techniques have been applied to the design of water distribution networks, and computerized design of sanitary sewage collection systems has also been developed [19,30]. The simulation of river flows including meteorological and hydrographical inputs has been used to study and design large diversion systems, and a variety of capital projects including flood control structures, dams, irrigation systems, and major urban supply systems [31]. Water pollution problems have also been studied using the computer to determine the relationship between pollutant inputs along a stream, stream flow, and pollution levels.…”

This brief survey of the use of computers in urban society covers the broad range of activities found in any i'ity. The future scope of applications is limited only by the Imagination and inventiveness of future system designers, programmers, analysts, and decision makers. The computer can be, if properly used, with respect for hrnnan dignity and civil liberty, a significant factor in improving the efficiency of the urban process. It is expected that the benefits of such computer usage will outweigh the costs and that we may look forward to an expansion of such usage.
