To accomplish this, a two step process was used. First, <br />the amount of water physically and legally available to a San Miguel project was estimated for several locations in <br />the study area. Second, with this information and knowledge of the storage and diversion capabilities of a <br />particular project alternative, the quantity of water that this project alternative could deliver was estimated. The <br />second step of this process was repeated for each project alternative considered. Due to the complexity of the <br />irrigation systems considered and the large amounts of data involved, a computer model was used to perform the <br />calculations. The Boyle Engineering Stream Simulation Model (BESTSM) was used to estimate the physical and <br />legal availability of water and to simulate the operation of the alternative irrigation systems. The results of these <br />analyses are presented in Chapter VI for comparison of the alternative projects. <br /> <br />11I.4 <br />
