Optimization Validation Report
As most models embody approximations of real physical systems it is important to compare a model's performance with reality. This short paper describes a two phase process to determine the accuracy of some aspects of a water management optimization model formulated as a QLP.
River Routing by Convolution
This short paper describes the workings and implementation of a convolution integral used for the purpose of river routing in a water management model optimization linear program.
