Background
You will be working again in the Russian River watershed you used in the workshops for individual models. You will be in the position of a water manager using a sequence of models to support reservoir operating decisions. This workshop is divided into two parts. In the first part you will look at the current status of the Russian River basin. You will be asked whether the data required for forecasting is available and what your forecast time should be. In the second part you will run a "what if" scenario by modifying the forecasted precipitation.
Objectives
In this workshop, you will learn how CWMS can be used in day-to-day operations. You should learn:
The roles of the different CAVI modules in making a forecast
How to select a forecast time
How to identify missing data required for a forecast
How to use CWMS to consider multiple operating strategies
