MOOSIM model is capable of simulating <br />complex river basin water systems. The overriding control of flow in <br />the model system is via a priority or water decree system. It is this <br />ability to emulate the Colorado water rights structure (the priority <br />system) that makes MODSIM one of the more appropriate models for <br />simulation of Colorado State river basin water systems. <br /> <br />The model network consi sts of i nfl ows, reservoi rs, and demand <br />points. Each are connected by the appropri ate 1 i nkage vi a canal s, <br />river reaches or other conveyance systems. Each reservoir and demand <br />point is given a priority number which reflects its position or basin <br />rank within the system. Senior demands for water in the model will be <br />compl etely satisfied prior to more junior demands when physically <br />possible. <br /> <br />MOOSIM <br />operation. <br /> <br />is also capable of flexible simulation of reservoir <br /> <br /> <br />The location of the reservoir within the model network <br /> <br />IV - 13 <br />
