?
(RTi) is thoroughly familiar with the development, set-up, and operation of MODSIM.
3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The water rights planning model to be included in the CRDSS must be flexible and should
demonstrate sufficient functionality with respect to the anticipated goals and objectives of the
CRDSS, including the ability to address various "what if" scenarios of water resource planning.
Based on the comprehensive review of the models and with consideration of the attributes and
deficiencies of the various models as identified in Task Memoranda 1.15-2 through 1.15-9, it is
concluded that the model MODSIM best meets the overall CRDSS objectives. Accordingly, it is
recommended that MODSIM be selected as the water rights planning model for the CRDSS.
