Calibrated baseline data sets for the water allocation model (StateMod) have been developed for each major river basin to support water supply and planning studies. Baseline data sets typically include scenarios for historical data (for the purpose of calibration) and for the current conditions (for planning purposes).

GIS layers include HydroBase Data such as points of diversion, wells, streams/rivers, stream gages, canals, and climate stations, irrigated acreage for various years, and other relevant layers.

ArkDSS

Work is underway on the Arkansas River Decision Support System (ArkDSS). There are five tasks under active development at this time:

1.Spatial System Integration (GIS)

2.Data Development for Consumptive Use and Surface Water Modeling

3.Consumptive Use Analysis and Modeling

4.Surface Water Analysis and Modeling

5.Administration and Accounting Tools

Task Memos and other data can be found on the ArkDSS page.

Software enhancements made during ArkDSS (primarily to StateMod, TSTool, and StateCU) are being developed under the OpenCDSS model. Under OpenCDSS, software source code will be publicly available in GitHUB - an open source, collaborative environment.

Check back for updates to ArkDSS, OpenCDSS, and other CDSS topics.
