Unsteady Flow Modeling of the Releases from Glen Canyon Dam at Selected Locations in the Grand Canyon

摘要

During October and November, 1985, continuous streamflow data was collected at five gaging stations on the Colorado River in the reach between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead. These data were used to calibrate the hydrologic computer model, SSARR (Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation), which has as one of its features, the ability to route unsteady flow hydrographs. After calibration, the SSARR model was used to estimate hourly flow releases from Glen Canyon Dam as input.
