Recent studies of past climate and streamflow conditions have broadened understanding of long-term water availability in the Colorado River, revealing many periods when streamflow was lower than at any time in the past 100 years of recorded flows. That information, along with two important trends-a rapid increase in urban populations in the West and significant climate warming in the region-will require that water managers prepare for possible reductions in water supplies that cannot be fully averted through traditional means. Colorado River Basin Water Management assesses existing scientific information, including temperature and streamflow records, tree-ring based reconstructions, and climate model projections, and how it relates to Colorado River water supplies and demands, water management, and drought preparedness. The book concludes that successful adjustments to new conditions will entail strong and sustained cooperation among the seven Colorado River basin states and recommends conducting a comprehensive basinwide study of urban water practices that can be used to help improve planning for future droughts and water shortages.

Covers: model development & distribution org's.; general-purpose software; demand forecasting & balancing supply with demand; water distribution system models; ground water models; watershed runoff models; stream, hydraulics models; river & reservoir water quality models; & reservoir/river system operation models. Inventory of selected models appendix. Tables.
Computer models play important roles in environmental and water resources planning and management. However, the number and complexity of available software packages -- both public domain and proprietary -- can be overwhelming for anyone attempting to sort through the maze of models and to understand which ones might be useful for a particular application. This reference critically evaluates the extremely wide range of water management modelling software to help water managers, engineers, and scientists identify, select, and acquire the optimal software program for their particular modeling needs. Covers general-purpose software packages that deal with water management models. Considers packages that focus on specific models for demand forecasting and balancing supply with demand; water distribution systems; ground water; watershed runoff; stream hydraulics; river and reservoir water quality; reservoir/river system operation. Features a Model Inventory Appendix covering in depth the details of 37 generalized water management models with a proven record of successful application. For engineers, scientists, planners, and managers involved with waste and wastewater management, drainage and stormwater management, municipal and industrial water districts, irrigation and flood control districts.
