Book excerpt: Mature water resources areas rely heavily on surface water and groundwater and supported by intertied storage, allocation, and routing infrastructure. In such areas computerized mathematical models are indispensable tools. They both inform and guide planners, policy makers, and stakeholders, on how best to balance supplies and demands while meeting complex regulatory requirements required ensuring safety, reliability, and sustainability of associated water resources. They are also increasingly impacted by the challenges of climate change. This research focuses on the integration of a reservoir operation system model for allocations, an integrated hydrological simulation model for physically routing surface water and groundwater, and the hydrology driving both models, together to address such needs. The models discussed are generic and therefore applicable to many areas. The models are the Integrated Water Flow Model IWFM, and the reservoir operation/allocation model WRIMS (Water Resources Integrated Modeling Suite). This research tests these models and their coupling in a complex example in California. The application of IWFM called California Central Valley Simulation model (C2VSIM) is linked to an application of WRIMS for the CVP/SWP systems in the Central Valley (developed as part of this research) to simulate key reservoirs for water allocation. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques are also presented to improve hydrologic inputs to the models. The resulting tools and suggested approach for using these tools are applied to two examples: a proposed conjunctive use study in the Central Valley and a study to examine the impacts of global warming on upper watershed flows to downstream storage and allocations.
