Derek W. Ryter, Joseph A. Hevesi and Linda R. Woolfenden use an integrated hydrological model to examine spring diversions in California's Strawberry Creek watershed. The study considers how water moves through the watershed and how withdrawals at springs relate to streamflow farther along the drainage system.
The report explains the study area, the hydrological information used to construct the model and the representation of groundwater and surface-water processes. Alternative scenarios allow the authors to compare conditions associated with different diversion assumptions within the same modeling framework.
Maps, model descriptions and results provide a structured account of the analysis and its limits. The book offers a focused example of how numerical simulation can connect local water-use questions with the larger behavior of a mountain watershed. It is particularly useful for readers interested in the interaction between springs, groundwater, streamflow and the practical interpretation of hydrological models.
