Stindt <br /> <br />DATE: July 23, 19(12 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Colorado River Model Info~mation <br /> <br />Seve~al simulation reodels of the Colorado River system have <br />been developed. The capability of each model varies somewhat. A <br />b~ief background discussion of each model as wel.l as an <br />identification of related literature is p~esented below. <br /> <br />Colorado River Storage Project Model (CRSP) <br /> <br />The CRSP model was developed to allow the p~ojection of long <br />range operating schedules and st~ategies fo~ the Colo~ado Rive~ <br />Reservoir System. The model does not project future water <br />quality conditions at any station above Lees Ferry. It was used <br />in the sizing study for the Yuma Desalting Plant. <br /> <br />with the development of mo~e recent models, the CRSP is <br />being applied to the system less frequently. Although no <br />1 iter.ature has hcen clevcdoped on the IOodel, it is bein~ u5cd by <br />the Bureau of Reclamation in Boulder City, Nevada. Detailed <br />information is available through that office. <br /> <br />Interim Water Quality Simulation Model <br /> <br />This model was developed in 1973 by R. w. Ribbens and R. F. <br />Wilson of the Bureau of Reclamation. It simulates reservoir <br />ope~ation6 on a monthly and yearly basis instead of an average <br />annual basis and was developed for the Colorado River from Lake <br />powell to Imperial Dam. <br /> <br />604 <br />m/Co/Riv/Mod <br /> <br />-5- <br />
