RESERVOIR RELEASE FORECAST MODEL FOR FLOOD OPERATION OF THE FOLSOM PROJECT INCLUDING PRE-RELEASES

This paper summarizes the capabilities and range of applications for a Decision Support System for real time flood operation and associated planning activities for the Folsom Project in California. Under an off-line Planning Mode, the Reservoir Release Forecast Model (RRFM) is being used to test alternatives operating rules. A real-time Operational Mode of the RRFM is operated by the USBR’s Central Valley Operations Office in conjunction with the SS-SAC hydrologic model, which is operated by the NWS CaliforniaNevada River Forecast Center. The RRFM will make possible the risk-based operation of the Folsom Project, as authorized by the Water Resources Development Act of 1999, through consideration of uncertainty in inflow forecasts to increase the level of flood protection provided in Sacramento. The RRFM has many applications in addition to developing and testing operating rule changes, including possible pre-release strategies, and as a tool for real time flood operation. These include operator training, emergency management table top exercises, and for assisting downstream emergency managers in developing protocols for using RRFM release forecasts to improve emergency planning.
