This announcement presents background on the training objectives and <br />methods, lists the schedule in detail, and provides opportunity to sign-up for all or <br />selected training module sessions. <br /> <br />The CRDSS <br /> <br />The Colorado River Decision Support System (CRDSS) is a collection of <br />computerized databases and models designed to aid management of the water <br />resources of the tributaries of the Colorado River Basin in Colorado. The CRDSS <br />currently includes four major components: <br />. Tabular databases on historic river flows, diversions, climate and agriculture. <br />· Mapped databases on topography, soils, irrigated lands, watersheds, river <br />networks, diversion headgates, cities, counties, and DWR divisions and <br />districts. <br />· Consumptive use (Cm model for determining the amount of water used by <br />evapotranspiration from irrigated lands and other uses. <br />· Water resources planning model for simulating river basin water flows, <br />diversions and reservoir operations on a monthly time step. <br />The CRDSS also incorporates versions of the so-called Big River Models (Annual <br />Operating Plan and Colorado River Simulation System) of the US Bureau of <br />Reclamation. These models are used to simulate river flow~ and diversions of the <br />entire Colorado River basin. However, due to on-going enhancement of those <br />models by the USBR they will only be demonstrated; detailed training will not be <br />provided. <br /> <br />All of these databases and models have been integrated into a single package in a <br />networked Unix workstation environment having user-friendly interfaces. <br /> <br />CRDSS TRAINING PROGRAM OUTLINE <br /> <br />Training Objectives and Methods <br /> <br />The CRDSS Training Program is directed to providing the user with hands-on <br />experience in using the CRDSS. Moreover, a user who completes the various <br />modules of the CRDSS Training Program will have experienced success in the use <br />of the CRDSS and from this will gain confidence that the CRDSS can be used <br />productively on the job. <br />
