Development of an integrated land and water use planning tool for the Carson River Watershed: Phase I development of a planning platform and water resources assessment Item Info

To enable this planning effort for the Carson River Basin this study develops a watershed scale Water Resources Planning Tool that can display the interaction between proposed development and hydrologic modification activities, and the impacts these activities could have on hydrologic conditions, water resource availability within the Carson River Watershed. The purpose of such a tool is two fold. First the tool can be used by a variety of agencies to help determine the viability of proposed plans based on their predicted impacts to a variety of stakeholder interests within the basin. Second, the tool can be used to aid in educating stakeholders on the impacts of development and hydrologic modification activities on water resources availability and water quality within the Carson River. The remainder of this report documents the mathematical approaches used to predict the hydrological behavior of the Carson River Watershed, and the development of the user interface to enable the Water Resources Planning Tool to be used most effectively by water resources planners and managers within the Carson River Watershed.
