The South Florida Water Management District announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.

Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study Peer Review Workshop

DATE AND TIME: Wednesday, June 11, 2008, 8:30 a.m.

PLACE: South Florida Water Management District Headquarters, Storch Room, 3301 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach, Florida 33406

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Workshop is for the peer review of the modeling tools developed for the Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study (KBMOS). The SFWMD has selected three experts to participate in the model peer review panel to judge the quality and credibility of the science used to develop the modeling tools, particularly in their applicability to decision-making for operational management of structures in the Kissimmee Watershed. The Peer Review Panel has been asked to (1) assess whether the selected models have been appropriately formulated and calibrated to evaluate existing and proposed Kissimmee Basin structure operating criteria and (2) determine whether base condition simulation results provide an appropriate benchmark for use in the selection of modified structure operations. Results of the Panel’s Peer Review of the modeling tools will be presented and discussed at the workshop.
