Description

As the agency reported it.

Previously, modeling hasbeen approached from a sequential perspectivevarious potential changes were considered and run through themodeling framework, yielding a result that is then analyzed for the difficulty IT may cause water managers andconsumers. A different outlook is proposed in this project instead of looking to potential future conditions, backcasting will be used to create challenge tests. In these tests, scenarios considered likely to cause problemsfor water managers and water supplies will be rigorously defined. Model simulations using a wide range of driverswill be run with a goal to uncover lake, climate, and watershed conditions that lead to these problematicoutcomes. Once significant drivers are identified, the project team will suggest proactive approaches to ensurecontinuation of high-quality water in the lower colorado river basin. The final piece of this project will beconstructing a classification machine learning model that quantifies the importance of each input variable inviolating the challenge tests.
