<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />D0232~ <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />completely operational, the FWS biologist working in conjunction with a hydrol- <br />ogist and other water resource professionals will have the capability of iden- <br />tifying and quantifying the effects of water resource development over long <br />)sections of a river basin. This capability will enhance the response capabil- <br />ities of FWS and change the role of the Service from reactionary to a planning <br />mode wherein the Service will have the capability to develop, quantify, and <br />L-?ropose alternatives to development projects. <br /> <br />The present status of the AR/HSM effort is that the effort is now completely <br />unfunded as of October I. 1982. and the level of effort has been significantly <br />reduced. Presently, a limited effort is underway to validate the data inputs to <br />the HYDROSS model and linkage programs are being developed by WELUT in conjunc- <br />tion with other funded projects. When these efforts are completed, the AR/HSM <br />model will be tested using test data. There are no current plans to test the <br />model on actual projects until the models are completely operational and test <br />results verified. <br /> <br />This concludes the accomplishments of the WFE project for FY-82. With the close <br />of the fiscal year, the future of the WFE project is uncertain. Funding has not <br />been forthcoming to continue the project at an operational level, but work will <br />continue on the development of the model on a very limited basis. No further <br />demonstration or progress reports are planned. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />\ <br />
