Description:
This report documents a demonstration of areawide water resources planning by the Metropolitan Washington, DC. Council of Governments (MWCOG). The MWCOG Framework Water Resources Planning Model is a comprehensive analytical tool for use in areawide water resources management planning. The physical simulation portion was formed by linking component computer models which test alternative future community development patterns by small area, estimate water demands by usage categories, calculate sewage flows based on water demands and add infiltration/inflow simulate stormwater runoff, test application of alternative waste treatment management systems, and simulate the quality response of the region's major water body. The Users Manual describes the function and operation of each component model, alternative models that could have been used, and elements of post computational analyses described. The Users Manual is intended to be used in conjunction with other references which are cited.
