Corollary 6.8<br />
The pumping decision is related to the production decision by the marginal<br />
value of water <strong>and</strong><br />
(i) Assume production at price S i , then the marginal value of water is u i .<br />
Pumping occurs below price S j j é iÝ , where the marginal value of<br />
Û<br />
water u j u è i u j 1.<br />

(ii) Assume pumping at price S j with marginal value of water u j . Then production<br />
occurs at price S i Û j é iÝ where è u i u j è u i<br />

The corollary is proven in Appendix A on page 198.<br />
6.5.3. Conclusion <strong>and</strong> choice of exercise functions<br />
We have in this section, for the special case, where the probabilistic water constraints<br />
<strong>and</strong> the risk constraint are inactive, derived a number of results <strong>and</strong><br />
showed that step functions indeed are the correct exercise functions. In the<br />
general case, where risk <strong>and</strong> intermediate water level is of concern we can rely
