Abstract/Description or Keywords | The general objective of this study was to develop a distributed hydrologic model of the Okanagan Basin and calibrate it to naturalized conditions, to develop a water accounting model for the Okanagan Basin and calibrate it to existing conditions, and to apply the water accounting model of the Okanagan Basin to analyze future hydrologic conditions under a range of climate-change and land-use scenarios. Specific objectives were to: ユ Develop a distributed hydrologic model of the Okanagan Basin to simulate naturalized conditions; ユ Calibrate and compare the model results with the results of the related naturalized flow study (Summit and Polar, 2009); ユ Estimate naturalized weekly streamflows or lake levels for the period 1996-2006 at 81 surface water nodes (Figure 1-2); ユ Incorporate water use data to develop the Okanagan Basin Water Accounting Model; ユ Calibrate the Okanagan Basin Water Accounting Model to available measured data; ユ Estimate historical weekly streamflows and lake levels for the period 1996-2006 at 81 surface water nodes (Figure 1-2); ユ Analyze future streamflows and lake levels under a range of climate-change and land-use scenarios; ユ Upload results to the OKWater Database. water supply, allocation, water balance, water yield |
