Nine Canals Serving the UVWUA <br />Agricultural Demands. Each of the nine <br />member canals of the UVWUA will have a <br />single-valued physical capacity in CFS. <br />The demand factors of acreage, C. U. factor <br />table and irrigation efficiency will also be <br />user-specifiable for each individual canal. <br />However, the water rights, project <br />affiliation and return flow attributes of <br />these individual canals will not be user- <br />specifiable. <br /> <br />5. AB Lateral Hydropower Facility. This facility is discussed <br />separately under Info Theme No.9. <br /> <br />6. Return Flows and "Wasteways." There are return-flow <br />relationships among the individual UVWUA canals that are <br />significant to the correct modeling in the UVP sub-system. Since <br />users can modify acreages and efficiencies for these individual <br />demands in ways which might cause return flows to a given canal <br />to exceed its demands, a system of "wasteways" is required to <br />prevent the possibility of infeasible solutions. Return-flow <br />locations, distributions and lag times for the UVP, as well as the <br />system of "wasteways," will all be hardwired and non-user- <br />modifiable. This is consistent with the general principle that <br />many parameters of the Uncompahgre Valley Project components <br />of the model are too complex to be modified by users. The <br />simplifying assumption that users will not be permitted to modify <br />UVP return-flow locations should also simplify the requirements <br />for the "map view. " <br /> <br />7. Customized Output Utilities. Certain predesigned reports will <br />enable users to get logically related outputs from the model <br />without having to know which links represent what information, <br />or even what kinds of information are available. (A "report" <br />amounts to a predesigned spreadsheet with user-friendly column <br />headings for the output data and links into the binfile.) This type <br />of support is especially important with respect to components of <br />the model which are hardwired and uniquely defined, where the <br />user won't have a clue about the meaning of the contents of the <br />binfile, itself, even if he has a network diagram. <br /> <br />
