Since 2004, an interdisciplinary research team at the University of Arizona has worked with the Bureau of Reclamation to enhance predictive capacity in Lower Colorado River by incorporating climate information into river operations modeling. The project team also evaluates economic and management tools capable of mitigating the impacts of water supply variability during prolonged dry-year conditions. Support for the research has been provided by the University of Arizona Water Sustainability Program and the Bureau of Reclamation. The project team works closely with the Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Colorado River Region. [More]
