This hydrologic <br />model is a very detailed kinematic wave model that requlres <br />the basin to be divided into very small increments so that the <br />impact of each of these areas can be carefully analyzed. The <br />model accounts for channel and overbank storage, lagging and <br />combining of hydrographs and for reservoir routing. The model <br />can be easily altered to look at varying basin conditions and <br />will be available to the City of Fort Collins and Larimer <br />County to evaluate the impact of future development projects <br />within the basin. <br /> <br />.. .',~. <br />
