RIVERWARE: A GENERALIZED TOOL FOR COMPLEX RESERVOIR SYSTEM MODELING

摘要

Water management agencies seek the next generation of modeling tools for planning and operating river basins. Previous site-specific models such as U.S. Bureau of Reclamations'(USBR) Colorado River Simulation System and Tennessee Valley Authori- Ty's(TVA)Daily Scheduling Model have become obsolete; however, New models are difficult and expensive to develop and maintain. Previous generalized river basin modeling tools are limited in their Ability to represent diverse physical system and operating policy Details for a wide range of applications.
