	Resource allocation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In strategic planning, a resource-allocation decision is a plan for using available resources, for example human resources, especially in the near term, to achieve goals for the future.
		It is the process of allocating resources among the various projects or business units.
		The basic allocation decision is the choice of which items to fund in the plan, and what level of funding it should receive, and which to leave unfunded: the resources are allocated to some items, not to others.

	Regional Workshop on Allocation of Water Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A project on regional cooperation on optimum water resources allocation among water-use sectors is being implemented with funding from the Republic of Korea to identify the best principles and practices for water resources allocation for practical application in developing countries.
		Water allocation policies should be based on the principle of integrated water resources planning and management, covering all types of interrelated freshwater bodies, and taking into consideration water quality and quantity.
		For those rivers in which the quality of water has deteriorated to such an extent that the quantity of water available for drinking and domestic use has been significantly reduced, appropriate remedial measures should also be undertaken to restore the quality of water to its natural condition to maintain sustained socio-economic growth in developing countries.

	Resource Allocation Within the Household (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		They begin with a family utility function, so as to be able to study intergenerational resource allocation as "an orderly optimizing process." The arguments (elements) of the utility function are parental consumption, the number of surviving male children, and the number of surviving female children.
		R and S derive the equilibrium conditions of their formal model, and their analysis focuses on the condition that says that the shadow price of the resources devoted to consumption of children of sex i (i=m,f) will be lower the higher are the sex-specific monetary contributions of surviving children of sex i.
		Resource allocation to children is not observed directly.

	Water Resources Department Allocation of Conserved Water
		The Allocation of Conserved Water Program allows a water user who conserves water to use a portion of the conserved water on additional lands, lease or sell the water, or dedicate the water to instream use.
		In the absence of Department approval of an allocation of conserved water, water users who make the necessary investments to improve their water use efficiency are not allowed to use the conserved water to meet new needs; instead any unused water remains in the stream where it is available for the next appropriator.
		In exchange for granting the user the right to "spread" a portion of the conserved water to new uses, the law requires allocation of a portion to the state for instream use.

		ADB will need to ensure that financial resources are allocated to countries that make the best use of these resources, while the recipient DMCs, in turn, will need to ensure that these resources are used efficiently and effectively.
		The proposed PBA system is based on the understanding that efficient and equitable allocation of resources requires an assessment that blends performance, needs, and absorptive capacity of the recipient country.
		The proposed 2002 allocations for ADF borrowers will be submitted to the Board for formal endorsement in the context of the CSP process for each country.

		An assessment of equity in geographical allocation of resources in the N.Cape
		Government resource allocation decisions are largely geographically based and the fiscal federalism, currently used in South Africa has been recognised in many ways for its incompatibility of promoting equity across national sectors.
		Though inter-provincial allocation of health budgets are set through the medium term fiscal framework process and are monitored for equity, most provinces still use historical budgets when making resource allocations at the district level, resulting in many rural areas and health districts being underresourced.

	Resources Allocated in Investigations
		Although the majority of commercial intelligence work centres around mainstream assignments, all the experience, knowledge and resources used to ensure a successful conclusion to these cases draw upon exactly the same resources that enable other types of assignments to be successful.
		Following this paragraph are some examples of different investigations and the resources needed, either singly or in combination with each other, to execute any one assignment with the most options for solution available.
		These examples illustrate how different combinations of the same resources are brought to bear to tackle a variety of different types of investigations, to obtain the desired result.

		Whether these assets are raw materials, human capital, or liquid capital, the allocation of these resources to business operations boils down to similar principles of economics and mathematics.
		These principles can be utilized in resource allocation business models to optimize the usage of assets for optimal outputs.
		Implemented properly, resource allocation models can analyze the effects of changing the allocation of any asset base, be it materials purchases from vendors, reorganizing human capital, restructuring shipping networks, or re-allocating financial resources.

	Roads: This is skewed allocation of resources
		That henceforth, resources would be used to serve the many and grave social and economic needs of a population that has known suffering for too long instead of being used to massage the political egos of those who hold public office.
		That consideration in matters such as allocation of roads funds would be given to areas that need to be opened up to enable farmers, fishermen and rural entrepreneurs to take their goods to the marketplace, regardless of whether some local luminary is holding a prominent position in government or not.
		Economics aside, the high priests of skewed allocation of public resources must be reminded that their action is what makes our politics more adversarial than it ordinarily need be.

	"SOCIAL WORTH" IN SCARCE RESOURCE ALLOCATION
		In medicine, allocation of scarce resources has always been a problem but it is moreso in these days of organ transplants and expensive technical procedures.
		Distribution of scarce medical resources should be predicated upon urgency of need, one's place in line for that resource, and the likelihood of medical benefit to be derived from having it.
		I think the scarce resource needs to be given to the neediest of those on the list, but that the list itself must have as one of its factors what you might term social worth.

		Allocating an independent testing team to test a software product is often a controversial issue, mainly because development managers are frequently not interested in paying for these services due to budget and time constraints.
		Before we developed this allocation system, the development team rarely asked for testing on this kind of project, due to the testing costs that would represent more than 50 percent of the total project costs.
		The testing resources are estimated and allocated in the project based on the software requirements.
