Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE)

Daily time series for modeled additional releases needed at Sumner to be compliant with the Endangered Species Act (ESA). ESA requirements below Sumner include gage targets for the Taiban and Acme USGS gage, with targets varying depending on how dry the year is. Results were modeled using the Pecos River Operations Model (PROM) for the purpose of the Pecos River Basin Study. This study used data from five downscaled and bias-corrected Global Climate Models (GCMs) run through a Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrological model. Outputs at key headwater and tributary gages were then used as inputs and run through a RiverWare operations model, PROM. There are ten runs for each GCM which includes: a baseline run, five alternate management strategy runs, and four water footprint runs.
