Abstract | The long term goal of a study presently underway at the University of British Columbia is to develop a simulation model of the Fraser River system for research and teaching purposes. The model will be used to estimate the consequences of storage reservoirs in the river system and simulate discharge from readily available meteorological data for purposes of flood forecasting and evaluating the impact of critical meteorological patterns.The study consists of two main phases: simulation of discharge from relatively small basins and routing of flows down the river channels. Techniques which are being used are described in the paper. |
