4. We have 3 model alternatives for three different Models, RR_Precipitation (Hydrologic Sampling), (MCA)Russian River FRA (HMS), and Baseline_F (ResSim). These model alternatives will be used to construct an FRA simulation. Our next step is to create an analysis period that represents our lifecycle duration.
