Abstract
A detailed river basin simulation model has been developed by the California Department of Water Resources to simulate the combined operation of two major water project systems in California, namely the Central Valley Project (CVP), operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the State Water Project (SWP), operated by the California Department of Water Resources. The simulation model developed provides the necessary flexibility to analyze a wide range of assumptions for various planning alternatives. A major feature of the model is to allow proper sharing of Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta inflows between the CVP and SWP to meet Delta water quality outflow requirements as well as respective project export needs. Many model features are incorporated so the model can be used to analyze the effect of various alternatives of future surface reservoirs, changes in cross Delta transfer proposals, proposed ground-water reservoirs, and many other proposed system changes. The range of model capabilities is described along with some example studies.
