As currently envisioned, the <br />CRDSS would be a computer-based system of databases and models, accessible to <br />users throughout the state, that would facilitate the study of water.related technical <br />and policy problems. While the CRDSS is still very early in the planning stages and <br />its implementation still subject to many funding decisions, the design of the Planning <br />Model should prudently anticipate its future integration into the CRDSS. <br /> <br />Development of the Planning Model will try to anticipate this future integration <br />in three ways. First, the underlying the Planning Model will be configured to <br />correspond as closely as possible to the physical network of river reaches and <br />tributaries that comprise the Gunnison River basin. This correspondence will enhance <br />the ability of georelational functions of the CRDSS to communicate with the Planning <br />Model. <br /> <br />Second, the input and output data structures created and/or referenced by the <br />Planning Model's user interface will be designed to facilitate low-level access <br />independent of the user interface. This access will enhance the ability of future <br />CRDSS user-and data-interface programs to communicate with and manipulate the <br />operation of the simulation component of the Planning Model. <br /> <br />Third, the Hydrosphere design team will stay in communication with the <br />CRDSS team to keep abreast of CRDSS developments that suggest additional Or <br />alternative directions for Planning Model development efforts. <br /> <br />DBR/bj <br /> <br />bj803.memo <br /> <br />4 <br />
