The Applicability Of Microcomputers To Local Water Management, Roderick Lee Allen
The Applicability Of Microcomputers To Local Water Management, Roderick Lee Allen
Dissertations and Theses
Historically, hydrologic models have been available only on mainframe computers and have therefore not been used by local water managers to support daily decisions. The development of the microcomputer presents an opportunity for that to change.
Mathematical models of soil moisture and river routing are selected, developed and tested for use on a microcomputer as an aid to local water management. The models are then integrated with an appropriate data base in a computer program written for a microcomputer. The result is a Decision Support System for local water managers.
In order to evaluate the feasibility of using the Decision …
