RIVERWARE DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS FOR PLANNING SUSTAINABLE RIVER DEVELOPMENT WITH HYDROPOWER
Fresh water supplies，energy and environmental preservation are three of the most pressing issues facing humanity.Planning for development of reservoir and hydropower on the rivers of the world can be improved by the use of powerful tools to analyze the natural hydrologic supply of water and determine the most effective management that balances human and ecosystem needs.Simulation and optimization modeling tools must be flexible to analyze structural and mult-objective operational alternatives under the varying and changing hydrology.Hydropower operations should additionally consider potential variations and trends in the value of energy.Environmental effects including water quality and riparian habitats are also operating objectives.Results of planning studies include riskbased predictions of the benefits and effects of a proposed project.Trade-off and sensitivity analysis provide additional input to the decision-making process.The University of Colorado Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems develops tools for planning studies With these capabilities.The RiverWare suite of tools includes： 1)generation of synthetic hydrologic sequences that capture natural variability and rends due to climate change；2)long-lead forecasting capabilities based on climate signals；3) mulit-objective river and reservoir modeling tools including hydropower、with value of energy；and 4)statistical analysis tools for representation of the outcomes of the analysis.These tools are used by major water management agencies in the US such as Bureau of Reclamation,Corps of Engineers and Tennessee Valley Authority，and also numerous smaller water management agencies.This paper and presentation describe these tools and two application by AMEC Earth and Environmental for the E1 Dorado Irrigation District in California,and the Tarrent County Regional Water District in Ft. Worth,Texas.
