News & Events

Graduate student Mitchell Frischmeyer presented a poster session of his research, “Simulated Effects of Adapting Flood Control Operations for Variable Inflow Forecasts on Klamath River Basin Water Supplies.” The four-day American Geophysical Union (AGU) event is a leading forum for the advancement of research in Earth and space sciences.

The three-day conference in Pune, India, was hosted by the World Bank National Hydrology Project and the India Department of Water Resources. CADSWES Director Edie Zagona presented on the uses of RiverWare for long-term planning studies.

At the three-day workshop held Oct. 29–31, 2019, in Khartoum, Sudan, water resources experts from Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt presented their RiverWare model applications for the Eastern Nile Basin.

“A Nonlinear Dynamical Systems-based Modeling Approach for Stochastic Simulation of Streamflow and Understanding Predictability” was published in Water Resources Research, June 17, 2019.

The Oct. 1–2, 2019 visit by Reclamation Commissioner Brenda Burman and other officials provided an opportunity to review and celebrate the evolution and accomplishments of the 30-year collaborative partnership between Reclamation and CADSWES.

Over 125 representatives from a variety of government agencies and private organizations gathered for two days of presentations and demonstrations by RiverWare users and CADSWES staff, Aug. 28–29, 2019.

The Federal Interagency Sedimentation and Hydrologic Modeling (SEDHYD) Conference was held June 24–28, 2019, in Reno, Nevada. David Neumann of CADSWES presented a study he co-authored, “River and Reservoir Operations Using RiverWare Within the Corps Water Management System (CWMS).”

In the class, held June 12–14, 2019, Tim Magee and Mitch Clement of CADSWES introduced attendees to RiverWare optimization concepts and applications and facilitated hands-on exercises using sample models.

CADSWES is pleased to announce RiverWare version 7.5, available June 6, 2019. Highlights include: usability improvements for the workspace and the DMI connection to Excel; multiple enhancements to scripts, RPL predefined functions, and the model comparison tool; and a new, HTML-based documentation set.

Congratulations to Sumi Thapa on earning her Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering, in the Hydrology, Water Resources and Environmental Fluid Mechanics program at CU Boulder.
