Highlights
More than 15 million people rely on water resources from the Delaware River Basin (DRB), and the mainstem of the Delaware River is the longest undammed river east of the Mississippi in the United States (Rupert 2014)
The multivariate linear regression model used as a baseline of model performance was fit using ordinary least squares (OLS) (Table 2)
One potential application of this process-based empirical model (PBEM) is for the simulation of operations of reservoirs in the Delaware River watershed over the historic hydrology
Summary
More than 15 million people rely on water resources from the Delaware River Basin (DRB), and the mainstem of the Delaware River is the longest undammed river east of the Mississippi in the United States (Rupert 2014). In managing this large and important watershed, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) must contend with salinity concerns at the outflow of the Delaware River into the Delaware Bay. Due to a wide range of operational, financial, and ecological concerns, it is useful to be able to predict one component of salinity (chlorinity) in the Delaware Estuary. Rules that direct additional releases from upstream reservoirs when high chlorinity conditions exist are used to ensure that the objective is met (EPA 2018)
