Carson River Modeling System (2005-2017)

Precision has developed a realtime modeling system for the Carson River for the Lahontan Basin Area Office of the Bureau of Reclamation. The model is used to support many operational activities on the Carson River. It was used during 2006 and 2017 to support precautionary drawdowns of Lahontan Reservoir during the record-setting runoff seasons. It was also used on an ongoing basis to support OCAP operations in setting diversion targets for the Truckee Canal.
