Abstract: A general river basin modeling environment for operations and planning requires a high degree of software flexibility to allow users to model any river basin, manage data input and output efficiently enough for near real-time operations, and provide a selection of solution algorithms, all through a user-friendly interface. RiverWare is an extensible, maintainable software framework which provides a modeling environment to meet all the modeling needs of managers and operators of river and reservoir systems.
