Author: Ramona Tyndall Holdstock 2209 Century Drive Phone: (919) 781-4626 Explosive population growth in the Cape Fear River basin in North Carolina has strained water supply. To aid with current and future water resources management issues, such as water conservation measures and inter-basin transfers, a basinwide hydrologic model was developed. The model uses the MIKEBASIN engine, which runs within the ArcView GIS environment allowing geographic visualization and query of the model network, withdrawals, discharges, and reservoirs. The project tasks involved an extensive collection, review, and interpolation of hydrologic data, model schematization, estimations of agricultural water use, and incorporation of specific drought management and forcasting policies. |
