CITY OF MADISON: INFOS Model for Yahara Lakes

Purpose

"The City of Madison proposes to develop the first phase of an evaluation and prediction model for the upper half of the Yahara Watershed, called Integrated Nowcast and Forecast Operation System (INFOS). This is a real-time, three-dimensional, operational model that can provide information to lake managers to assess water level orders in conjunction with dam operations on the Yahara system, predict flood heights under various scenarios which may assist planning efforts, and identify constrictions that need to be removed to reduce flooding. The model can help define floodplain zones for improved planning, among other benefits. The deliverable will consist of a final report in hard copy and electronic copy describing the web browser interface, and give the final site address of the online model. All raw data will be included in digital format."
