Abstract: Simulation models have proven a durable and useful tool for the development of water resource system operating policies. One important component of any operating policy is streamflow forecasting. Incorporation of streamflow ...

Abstract: Forecasting of seasonal snowmelt runoff is an important exception to the otherwise limited accuracy of long‐term runoff forecasts. Conceptual models of the snow accumulation and ablation and precipitation‐runoff processes ...

Abstract: A recent report of the Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data found that there is “no current procedure for assigning an exceedance probability to the probable maximum flood (PMF)… in a reliable, consistent, or ...

Abstract: The possible effects of climate change on the combined Central Valley Project‐California State Water Project (CVP/SWP) were evaluated using a three‐stage approach. In the first stage, runoff from four headwater “study ...

Abstract: A simple method has been devised to incorporate the El

Abstract: Recent advances in long-lead climate forecasting have made it possible to produce useful streamflow forecasts for the Columbia River basin roughly six months earlier than current forecasts that rely on snowpack measurements. ...
