Modeling

States West Water Resources is a leader in the use of microcomputers for conducting resource analysis and performing engineering design. With high-end hardware and sophisticated software, we can offer services that were not practical just a few years ago.
States West uses a variety of computer software, ranging from general spreadsheet and database products, to highly specialized engineering software. Many software packages we use have been developed and approved for use by various federal agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, National Weather Service, Soil Conservation Service, Federal Highway Administration, and Bureau of Reclamation. In cases where software is not available to accomplish a specific project goal, States West can write a custom software package. Simulation models, databases, or mapping programs can be written to meet particular project requirements.
Some software packages we use at States West include:

    Beaver Creek Dam and Reservoir Project -- Weston County Wyoming

    Client Information
    Bear Lodge, Ltd 
    Mr. Ralph Goodsen 
    President 
    (307) 283-3633 

    Completion Date:    1990

    Project Description   

    Beaver Creek Reservoir was proposed as a recreation reservoir located near Newcastle in Weston County, Wyoming. Basin hydrology was assessed for an area characterized by intermittent and ephemeral stream flows with few gauging stations. A reservoir and basin operation model was developed, which incorporated water rights and daily stream flow components. Based upon the study, an 8,000 acre-foot capacity reservoir was selected. Because the proposed reservoir would be located on a stream with poor water  quality and high sediment load, reservoir quality and sedimentation studies were performed. Using available quality data from a nearby gage, a 45-year daily total dissolved solids (TDS) record was synthesized for the reservoir site. A water quality component was programmed into the operation model, and reservoir TDS and reservoir release TDS were simulated for the 45-year period. 
     
    Services Provided
    Hydrologic investigation including water supply, water quality, reservoir
    sedimentation, probable maximum flood, and dam break analysis.
