The <br />"lake" Upper ReseIVoirs represents the reseIVoirs above Lake Powell which were modeled and <br />simulated as if there was one aggregate reseIVoir. The lower reseIVoirs below Lake Mead (Lake <br />Mohave, and Lake Havasu) and the minor diversion dams do not have significant storage and <br />were not modeled but the evaporation losses were considered in simulating the downstream <br />deliveries. <br /> <br />Both simplifications, modeling the system as three reseIVoirs, and using annual data, allow the <br />model to run on a PC with short turn around time. While the model is a simplification of a much <br />more complicated system, the results when compared with the historical record, (For examples <br />see Figures 2, & 3) or the more detailed CRSS Model results are found to be a close <br />approximation. <br /> <br />3 <br />
