Consensus and Outstanding Issues
Explore the current performance and future applications of Delta models in environmental quality prediction. Address outstanding issues beyond flow and salt transport, such as particle tracking and non-conservative water quality parameters. Identify areas for improvement and potential applications in real-time operations and emergency response planning.

Presentation Transcript
Issues other than flow and salt transport: • Particle Tracking • Non-conservative water quality parameters (TOC, temperature)
Core Questions • What are the intended applications of Delta models in the next 10 years? • What is the current performance of Delta models in historical simulations and in foreseeable applications? • What are areas for improvement for Delta models?
Future Applications Real-time: • Operations • Emergency response Planning: • Sea level rise • Island flooding • Frank’s Tract / 3-Mile Slough • Shallow water habitat restoration • Storage and conveyance alternatives • South Delta and other barriers/gates • Changes in operations
What do we think about: • Modifications ready to be incorporated • Geometry revision protocol; datum revision • Delta agricultural uses • Open water areas • Salinity stratification • Goodness of fit measures • Other improvement needs • Resource needs
