- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to www.hec.usace.army.mil
- Spatial Resolution
- Model is network based. Resolution is based on the number of nodes and arcs specified. Watershed layout and stream alignment can be imported from HEC-ResSim.
- Temporal Resolution
- Monthly time step can be specified. Model intended for long term planning and simulation duration is on the order of years.
- Outputs
- Model outputs include reservoir management recommendations, specifically recommended diversions and their purposes, and system flows. Results are presented in both graphical and tabular format.

- practitioner
- Model Type
- infrastructure
- Inclusion of Climate Change
- Climate conditions are not explicitly incorporated but can be included through input data sets (e.g., specified flows, or evaporation rates).
