PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report explores the effects of irrigation practices and local hydrology on inflows to the Salton Sea through simulations within the Colorado River Simulation System in Riverware. 

PREREQUISITES
To use the files included in this report, please install:

> RiverWare V.8.0.1 available through the University of Colorado Boulder. License required. Installation instructions and License Request Information available here: https://www.riverware.org/riverware/viewer/index.html 

ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE
> Colorado River Simulation System Model (CRSS) Available through the University of Colorado Boulder:http://bor.colorado.edu/Public_web/CRSTMWG/CRSS/

CONTENT DESCRIPTION
The Data zip folder contains two files: 
> Scenario data Input.xlsx contails the inflows scenarios used for the sensitivity analysis in CRSS. 
> IID diversion.xlsx contains the formatted Historic Inflow data from CH2M Hill used to model baseline inflows in CRSS. 

Size: 108 KB

The Results zip folder contains two folders and the following files:
> Analysis
>> Sensitivity_Analysis.xlsx contains the model run outputs from CRSS and associated figures of the scenario analysis corresponding tho Figure 3 and Figure 4 in the SaltonSea_final_report
>> RRVS.xlsx contains calculations for the Reliability, Resilience, Vulnerability, and Sustainability of inflows to the Salton Sea based on the model runs in CRSS

> Output
>> S6_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 6 -10% Diverted IID Water
>> S1_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 1 +10% Miscellaneous Inflows
>> S3_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 3 +10% IID Return Flow %
>> S5_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 5 +10% Diverted IID Water
>> S2_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 2 -10% Miscellaneous Inflows
>> S4_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 4 -10% IID Return Flow %
>> S6_output.xlsx contails the model output for Scenario 6 -10% Diverted IID Water
>> Baseline_output.xlsx contails the model output for the baseline scenario

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAMPLE SINGLE RUN
1. OPENING THE MODEL

1.1 Download and extract CRSS_Files.zip to an accessible location

1.2 Open Riverware 

1.3 Navigate to the File dropdown in the Top Right Corner and select Open Model

1.4 Use the File Explorer window to navigate to and open the CRSS_Files folder

1.5 Open the model folder

1.6 Double click the CRSS_Salton_4_23_20.mdl file to open the model, or select the model file and click Open in the File Explorer window

1.7 The model displaying nodes and links in the Colorado River system will be displayed. To verify that this model is correct, use the zoom tool in Riverware to zoom out two clicks and scroll to the bottom of the model. The 3-link Salton Sea system should be present in the bottom left corner with the IID_Return_Salton, Salton_Sea, and Misc_Inflows_Salton nodes. 

2. LOAD THE RULESET

2.1 Navigate to the Policy dropdown menu and mouse over Ruleset

2.2 In the Ruleset menu, click Open

2.3 Locate the CRSS_Files folder and double-click the ruleset folder

2.4 Double click the CRSS.Baseline.2027IGDCP.v4.2.0.SALTON_4_23_20.rls file to open the ruleset, or select the .rls file and click Open in the File Explorer window

2.5 The RBS Ruleset Editor window will open and display all of the rules in the CRSS.Baseline.2027IGDCP.v4.2.0.SALTON_4_23_20.rls ruleset. To verify the ruleset is correct, click the dropdown arrow for ICS and Other Project Water Rules in the Policy & Utility Groups tab in the Ruleset Editor. Make sure there is the additional rule called Solve for IID_RF_Salton and that it is Priority 43 under the ICS and Other Project Water Rules dropdown. In the On column, make sure there is a green checkmark on the same line as Solve for IID_RF_Salton. 

2.6 Click the RPL Set Not Loaded button in the top right corner of the RBS Ruleset Editor to load the ruleset. The text in the button will turn red and say RPL Set Loaded

2.7 Close the RBS Ruleset Editor

3. LOADING THE DMI

3.1 Click on the DMI dropdown menu and click DMI Manager

3.2 In the DMI Manager, scroll down and select xx_2007 UCRC Demands
