Presentation of StateMod model functionality, concentrating on model operations, <br />calibration results, and calibration difficulties <br />• Introduction to methods and techniques for presenting results <br />The BRTs will be asked for feedback during the meetings, and also be invited to look <br />closer {or have their consultants review) at the input data, and model representations. <br />They will also be asked to compile any additional written comments as a committee and <br />to provide them. to the Consultant team. The deadline for BRT feedback will be six <br />weeks after the workshop. <br />4.3 Consultant Team Review -Several Consultant team members have been involved with <br />the development of the Subbasins' StateCU and StateMod models prior to this Study. <br />Consultant team members will present an overview of their previous efforts and <br />knowledge of operations and calibration issues to other Consultant team members. Those <br />other Consultant team members will peer~review the previous work (i.e., previous <br />development of the StateCU and StateMod models) and recommend further refinements <br />to the models. These activities are expected to provide an extra level of refinements and <br />recommendations beyond the BRT reviews. <br />4.4 Recommend Model Refinements - Prepare a technical memorandum documenting <br />suggested refinements to Subbasin models based on input collected from the BRTs, from <br />the CWCB and from Consultant team reviews (Tasks 4.2 and 4.3). The magnitude of <br />potential modifications to the CDSS databases and StateMod are difficult to predict prior <br />to Consultant team review and BRT input. Therefore, the input received from the <br />Consultant team and Task 4 BRT review will be categorized as follows: <br />• Recommended -refinements will that significantly enhance the basin representation <br />and the understanding of the impact of alternative hydrology (Suggested refinements <br />that are expected to result in changes in streamflows or reservoir contents greater than <br />10 to 15 percent will be considered potentially significant); <br />• Desirable -- if possible to implement within the Study's budget and schedule, these <br />refinements should be incorporated; <br />• Optional -the suggested changes would enhance the supporting data and/or model <br />capabilities but are not anticipated to have significant overall effects on the purpose <br />ar results of this Study. The State will keep these suggestions an file for potential <br />future reference and implementation; or <br />• Infeasible -the suggested changes are impractical to implement. <br />Submit the technical memorandum to CWCB for review and comment. Based on <br />comments from CWCB, prepare a final technical memorandum. The "Recommended" <br />and "Desirable" refinements will be used as the basis for Task 5 work. <br />Deliverables: <br />4.1 Basin-specific model briefs. <br />Colorado River Water Availability Study Scope 1 1 8128120{lg <br />CRWAS Phasel Contract Scope EX A Finai <br />
