Riverside Technology, inc. (RTi) understands the benefits of broad basinwide analysis as well as the complexity and importance of precise river basin planning and modeling. We have many years of experience in the planning, development and implementation streamflow forecast systems in a wide range of hydrometeorological conditions. On projects from international river management to municipal water supply investigations, our system implementations range in scope from a few forecast points to well over a hundred points covering more than 250,000 square miles. Our planning and modeling experience, coupled with our close working client relationships, allows RTi to determine the most appropriate as well as cost-effective modeling solutions. The firm's system implementations have included the National Weather Service River Forecast System (NWSRFS) and RTi's RiverTrak® system, in addition to custom modeling systems which meet special project requirements.

Examples of river basin planning and modeling activities include:

• Simulation of complex reservoir operations for flood protection and optimization of power production
• Water supply versus demand analysis to assess new reservoir needs
• Irrigated lands analysis to determine agricultural demand
• Simulation of complex water rights systems such as those administered under the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, and others
• Evaluation of trans-basin water exchanges
