<br />BESTSM Takes the Guess <br />Work Out of Managing <br />Supply and Demand <br /> <br />As waler resource systems grow in complexity. <br />water planners need a comprehensive tool for <br />efficiently meeting growing demands with <br />declining sources of supply and stringent <br />regulatory rcquircmcnls. <br /> <br />Boylc Engineering's skilled staff ofwaler' <br />resource engineers has developed a powerful <br />100110 help mecllhe goals oftoday's waler <br />supply managers. BESTSM (Hoyle Engineering <br />Stream Simulation !\Iodel) is II water allocation <br />and accounting modellhat can simulate surface <br />and ground waler resources for complex river <br />basins. <br /> <br /> <br />BESTSM incorporales the hydrology. facilities. <br />and operations of comple)'; basins 10 allow <br />thorough evaluation of waler resources <br />management alternatives. BE5iTS1-f's user. <br />friendly data input structure, accompanied by <br />complete documentation and report-writer <br />capabilities, make application of the model <br />simple and efficient. <br /> <br />Model Features Make <br />BESTSM Best Choice <br /> <br />Compared 10 most other models of its kind, <br />BESTSM is easier to use, operates more <br />efficiently, and offers more features. <br /> <br />BESTSM has a broad range of features that will <br />assist water resource planners in creating and <br />testing water supply scenarios: <br /> <br />. BESTSM can simulate very complex <br />physical systems, including both natural <br />hydrologic elemcnts--rivers, streams, <br />ground water-and man-made sY5tems. such <br />as reservoirs, wells, pipelines, and <br />diversions. <br /> <br />. BESTSM can simulate complex operations <br />under various legal systems for allocating <br />water. including riparian and prior <br />appropriation legal doctrines. <br /> <br />"As compelilioll amollg water-users <br />increases alld additional requirements <br />Jor endangerl'd species are imposed, it <br />becomes particularly important to look <br />at r;.'er flows 01' a daily basis illstead <br />oj the tradilifmal mOil/My basis. <br />llESTSM allows liS to do jllsttllat," <br /> <br />-Jay Britton, Manager of Raw Water Planning, <br />Denver Water <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />BESTSM can test a variety of "what-if' <br />scenarios while investigating future <br />developments and impacts of changes in the <br />hydrologic system. For example, a city <br />planner may want to know "how milch <br />water will we lose if instrcam flows are <br />increased?" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />HESTSM is user~fricndly and operates in <br />the familiar WinJows@"typc environment. <br />The results are displayed in a variety of <br />user-specified formats. <br /> <br />9ECfOVfllSVSlUoO <br /> <br />1-- <br />1--1 <br />1==1 <br /> <br /> <br />f.N'l~ <br /> <br />'" <br />---.... <br /> <br />_.- <br />-_.....". <br /> <br />-. <br />--~.. <br /> <br />:r~~.. <br /> <br />. BESTSM can display output in a graphical <br />fonn for quick analysis and documentation <br />using built-in pre-fomlalled graphics <br />packages. <br /> <br />Hardware/Software Needs <br /> <br />BESTSM is written in FORTRAN 77 and is <br />designed to run on an IBM-compatible 486 PC <br />with approximately 4~1B of RAM and 20 MB of <br />free hard-drive space. The actual amount of <br />RAM and hard-drive space required depends on <br />the size of the system being simulated and <br />whether daily or monthly simulation is desired. <br /> <br />................................................................ <br />
