Colorado's Decision Support Systems: Data-Centered Water Resources Planning and Administration
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
Colorado's Decision Support Systems (CDSS) consist of the decision support systems (DSS) for the Colorado and Rio Grande rivers. The Colorado River DSS (CRDSS) was developed first and resulted in the implementation of the HydroBase database for storing water resources data, as well as modeling tools. CRDSS focused on surface water modeling and administration. The Rio Grande DSS (RGDSS) is currently under development and introduces ground water data and modeling. This paper summarizes some of the main features of the CDSS related to planning and administration of water resources in Colorado, illustrating how the CDSS provides insight into water resources issues.
