Abstract
This paper presents water resources
management and planning tools proposed for Georgia
watersheds. The proposed water resources
management and planning tools consist of a hydrologic
model, a water management model, and a cumulative
hydrologic impact assessment or scenario analysis tool.
The Hydrological Simulation Program - FORTRAN
(HSPF) is selected to model streamflow data for
Georgia watersheds (Bicknell et al., 2001). The same
HSPF model is also selected as the water management
model. The water management model is an accounting
model that is used to balance water demand and water
availability. Unlike the hydrologic and the water
management models, the cumulative hydrologic impact
analysis tool is not a model but rather an analysis
technique that can be accomplished by interactively
using the hydrologic and the water management models
to analyze the impacts of alternative management
scenarios.
