Abstract

To provide water resource managers and other end-users with operational forecast products and tools, we have implemented an enhanced version of the Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) that operates within ArcGIS 9.2. We have also implemented tools within ArcGIS that generate the necessary inputs to SRM. This ArcGIS-SRM system allows the user to easily: 1) delineate watersheds, 2) incorporate remote sensing images of snow cover, meteorological forecasts, and real-time streamflow values via the Internet, 3) compute several SRM model parameters, and 4) generate streamflow forecasts.
