Implementing a water resource planing model within the colorado river decision support system

摘要

The Colorado River Decision Support System (CRDSS) is a database and modeling system used by the State of Colorado to help water managers make informed decisions about Colorado water resources. Implementing the system has improved both the State's understanding of the data and its ability to analyze "what if" questions that are ritical to water resources management in Colorado. The data-centered system allows different modeling and analysis tools to share the same data. This paper focuses on the implementation of the water resources planning component of the CRDSS.
