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]
