Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) Modeling System Reference Manual. Eighth Edition.

摘要

The Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) modeling system simulates management of the water resources of a river basin or multiple-basin region under priority-based water allocation systems. In WRAP terminology, river/reservoir system water management requirements and capabilities are called water rights. The model facilitates assessments of hydrologic and institutional water availability/reliability in satisfying requirements for instream flows, water supply diversions, hydroelectric energy generation, and reservoir storage. Reservoir system operations for flood control can be simulated. Capabilities are also provided for tracking salinity loads and concentrations. Basin-wide impacts of water resources development projects and management practices are modeled. The modeling system is generalized for application anywhere, with input datasets being developed for the particular river basins of concern.
