Abstract
The construction of a digital regional reservoir-river simulation model is described. Simulation as a systems analysis tool is discussed in an introductory way. A comparative discussion of river routing models is given. The best selection of local routing coefficients is discussed when based only on daily flow data. The problems posed by not using precipitation data are stated. The model simulates the authorized surface water management plans and existing reservoir operating policies for the 8,000 square mile Wabash River Basin upstream of Williamsport, Indiana. It is used in testing systems operating policies for the upper Wabash Basin. (Author)
