Until now, <br />only a few organizations could even begin to address <br />this question with modern modeling technology. Now, <br />the most flexible, most powerful and easiest to use <br />model of the Colorado River system is available <br />commercially. <br /> <br /> <br />HYDROSPHERE <br /> <br />I-t (" sou r C t" (' 0 n s u II d n t s <br />
