<br />Recent advances in detection technologies, data management and retrieval systems,
<br />and modeling capabilities have led to a large number of conceptual and applied
<br />models that are already making significant contributions to water resources
<br />management in the Colorado River Basin. The potentially useful modeling concepts
<br />and applications inventoried from agency contacts and the literature are assessed for
<br />usefulness in the context of the physical, hydrologic, water use, flood damage
<br />potential, recreation use, environmental, economic, social, and cultural characteristics
<br />of the Basin. Modeling potentials are also assessed in the context of the history of
<br />water resources development and management in the basin and water laws and
<br />institutions that have evolved for their administration. Thus, model applications are
<br />reviewed in terms of both physical needs and institutional acceptability for water
<br />management decisions that affect water allocations within and among the states and
<br />Indian tribes. The literature describing scientific and engineering studies and the
<br />model development for applications in the Colorado Basin display parallels between
<br />time trends in the values and resulting policy on water resources development
<br />prevailing in the Basin and the research conducted.

<br />Concentration of total dissolved solids (salinity) in Colorado River basin streams are
<br />identified as a major problem for lower basin water users. Salinity concentrations in
<br />unregulated streams of the basin comprise two distinct populations that are grouped
<br />into base flow months and runoff months. Statistically significant increases in salinity
<br />have occurred with increasing water use and downstream progression.
