Show Water Related Physical Environment of the Great Salt Lake Basin Develop data base in following areas: 1. Limnology and meteorology ( currents, temperature, turbidity). 2. Hydrology ( surface and groundwater flows to and from the lake. i. Chemical water quality. Cultural Related Environment Develop data base in following areas: 1. Unit impact of various resource uses on water quality parameters. 2. Institutional and legal constraints. 3. Economic value of recreation and other sectors. Informational Activity Develop procedures and contacts for information flow to local, state, and federal decision makers. Develop component models of existing physical systems. Develop preliminary resource- use allocation models. Develop various resource- use alternatives for later evaluation by the final model. This task will depend substantially upon input from the regional officials and planners to insure addressing the real world alternatives. Model Development Activities I Integrate the component models and run with various arrays of resource - use alternatives to eva interaction between management decisions and the important phys cal characteristics of the lake. Conduct seminars, workshops, and discussion groups to insure close communication between decision makers and model builders. Generalize methodology for use on other lakes. Operate the model in a joint effort with local planners to assist in the development of a comprehensive plan. Use the predictive capability of the model to evaluate future resource- use ( and value) trend due to probable changes in wate r quality. Continually rerun model in the future to evaluate the impact of proposed changes in the pl; in as pressure for changes develop. Provide a continuing program to maintain close communication between technical personnel and local planners. Publish summaries of technical reports in language which will be of use to local decision make rs. Figure 18. Great Salt Like basin management study for Phases II and III - Project Flow Diagram. |
