Meeting Objectives
•Review system-specific operating rules and input data used
in basecase model run
•Show preliminary results
•Training for basic use of model
2
Concept of Hydrologic Model
A basinwide model of the French Broad, Nolichucky, and Pigeon river
basins at the finest practical geographic resolution and timestep.
Possible Uses:
1. Evaluation of the combined effects of municipal water supply plans
2. Evaluation of interbasin transfer permit applications
3. Development of individual water supply plans –
model will be on the DWR server and available to stakeholders and
their consultants
4. A platform for developing risk-based drought plans.

Project Timeline
•Components
–Basin schematic: Complete
–Data collection (demands and discharges, including agricultural demands): Complete
–Inflow development: Complete
–Operating rules: Complete pending review
–Current and future demand model runs: 1-2 months (Current complete pending review)
–Documentation, installation, and training: 1-2 months (pending setup of new DWR server)
–Expected completion date: Feb 2020
–New OASIS Model Development: Mostly complete
•Complete items: translator program, schematic updates, forecast plugin and gage data download, agricultural demand module, plotting program
•To do: Setup new server, translate existing models, SY module, demand multiplier
