RiverWare© is a river and reservoir hydrologic and policy modeling tool developed by the Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES) from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Discover more basics about the software in this section.
Common Aspects of UCRAF RiverWare Models
Several aspects of the UCRAF RiverWare models are common across all models. Details of those common aspects are discussed in this section.
Duchesne Basin RiverWare Model
The Duchesne Basin RiverWare model simulates the area from the Strawberry Aqueduct Collection System to the confluence of the Duchesne and Strawberry Rivers to the Randlett gage on the Duchesne River above the confluence with the Green River. Read about this model in this section.
The Price Basin RiverWare model simulates from Scofield Reservoir to the Woodside, Utah gage on the Price River above the confluence with the Green River. The model simulation space includes all major water users within the Price Basin above the Woodside, Utah gage. Read about this model in this section.
San Rafael Basin RiverWare Model
The San Rafael Basin RiverWare model simulates from the headwater reservoirs in Huntington, Cottonwood, and Ferron Creeks to the gage on the San Rafael River above the confluence with the Green River. Read about this model in this section.
RiverWare Output and Results Visualization Using Power BI Tools
The UCRAF RiverWare models simulate in Baseline mode (normal consumptive use) and Change Case mode (modified consumptive use) to quantify conserved water. When a Change Case scenario is simulated with a UCRAF RiverWare model, the resulting output is consolidated and exported in a consistent manner across all UCRAF RiverWare models. This output can then be visualized in a consistent manner in a Power BI tool.
