<br />I <br /> <br />OU0834 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />hydrologic breakdown. Hydrologic units will be established based on the <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />selection of approximately 100 gaging stations which will serve as nodal <br /> <br />points. Data will be developed on a monthly basis. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Step 2--Evaluating the use of alternative computer facilities. The <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />alternatives include the use of Federal, State, private, or MRBC in-house <br /> <br />facilities. The evaluation will include a determination of needed <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />computer capabilities, location, and costs. <br /> <br />step 3--Establishing consistency in the data base. Methodologies used by <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />the work groups need to be consistent in terms of detail required, results <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />obtained and relative importance in terms of affects on the water <br /> <br />resource. Collection of historical and current streamflow data for a base <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />period and base year is required. The location of stream gaging stations <br /> <br />and their period of record will be identified and streamflow data compiled. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Step 4--Developing methodologies for adjusting streamflow data and <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />evaluating water use. Historical and current streamflow depletions and <br /> <br />residual flows will be calculated. Recommendations regarding the need for <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />new programs or changes in existing data programs will be made. <br /> <br />step 5--Formulating and testing the hydrologic accounting system on the <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />basis of the selected gaging station locations. <br /> <br />The WPRS method used in <br />, <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />depletion studies will be used with the Corps of Engineers' main stem and <br /> <br />Kansas River Basin operation models. A query system will be developed <br /> <br />with the ability to evaluate the effects of future depletions on <br /> <br />streamflow. <br /> <br />Step 6--Expanding the hydrologic accounting system developed in Step 5 to <br /> <br />each accounting unit within the basin using the developed methodologies. <br /> <br />Step 7--Preparing final work group reports. A final report will be <br /> <br />prepared by the study management that summarizes the overall results of <br /> <br />-23- <br />
