Storage Analysis for the ACF, ACT, and Savannah River Basins

Proceedings of the 1995 Georgia Water Resources Conference, April 11 and 12, 1995, Athens, Georgia.The HEC-5 model is used to: 1) evaluate operational approaches for reservoirs in the ACF, ACT, and Savannah River systems; and 2) determine the impacts of future Atlanta area water withdrawals and increased minimum flows at Columbus, Georgia. A Dependable Capacity Operation approach is recommended. This approach maximizes economic benefits of hydropower and allows other water demands to be met through and beyond the year 2010.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institute as authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-397).
