- Equations are complex yet understandable when broken down
- A GUI would be very useful and helpful for data input for the
model. Recreating text files for every model run was time
consuming and inefficient.
- Re-write the model "smarter and faster". The ratio of
running time/simulated time is too low and should be faster.
Also, the model is written in a brute fashion, no elegance.
- The model should be made sensitive to velocity changes.
Stability is dependent on velocity, time step and space step. As
the model runs, the time step should probably change to keep the model
stable.
- A model such as this may be useful in automating operation of the
dam.
- Perhaps real-time USGS data from the input streams, predicted
precipitation data, predicted hydrographs based on the landscape, and
other useful data, perhaps predictions can be made of changing water
levels, giving operators or an automated system time to "prepare" for
successive events, while making the "best possible" decision for the
downstream lakes.
