Forecasting and Modeling Updates
• 24-Month Study– Recent Enhancements (implemented May 2012)– Potential Enhancements
• Mid-Term (Probabilistic) Operations Model (MTOM)

24-Month Study Recent Enhancements
• No changes to methods or modeling assumptions
• No changes to model results
• Purpose of enhancements– “Clean Up” Model Workspace– Improve Transparency, Consistency, Efficiency

24-Month Study Recent Enhancements
• “Clean Up” Model Workspace– Remove unused data objects– Remove “unused” and misleadingly named reach object
• Improve transparency of model– Rename objects to more intuitive and descriptive names
• Make 24-Month Study and MTOM more consistent– Yearly data slots vs repetitive monthly data slots
• Added efficiencies to process– Ruleset in “reverse” priority order– Added Lower Basin Surplus rules

24-Month Study Potential Enhancements• Lees Ferry Intervening flows
– Changes to reporting– Changes to model configuration to support reporting
• No changes to methods or modeling assumptions• No changes to model results• Purpose of enhancements
– More accurately project future flow at Lees Ferry streamgage
– Fix “double reporting” of historic flows between Glen Canyon Dam and Lees Ferry streamgage
– Improve transparency and consistency

24-Month Study Report Lake Powell Page
• Lees Ferry Column
• Current: Future Flow = GCD release• Potential Change:
Future flow = GCD release + 5-yr avg of intervening flow

• Side Inflow Column
• Current: Side Inflow = 5-yr avg of
(side inflows above Lees Ferry + side inflows below Lees Ferry)
• Potential Change:Side Inflow = 5-yr avg of side inflows below Lees Ferry

• Add additional Reach to PowellToMead Aggregate Reach• Separates out flows• Sum of reaches
remains the same• Modify Data
Management Interfaces (DMIs) • move data from
model to report

24-Month Study Potential Enhancements
• Lees Ferry Intervening flows – Changes to reporting– Changes to model configuration to support reporting
• No changes to methods or modeling assumptions• No changes to model results
• Potential Implementation: Jan/Feb 2013
