Abstract
The primary objectives of this investigation documented by this report are: 1. to develop a better understanding o the natural salt pollution problem and its impact on water management in the Brazos River Basin, 2. to develop expanded generalized reservoir system simulation modeling capabilities which incorporate salinity considerations, 3. to formulate and evaluate approaches for improving reservoir system yields and reliabilities while dealing with high salt concentrations, and 4. to perform a water supply reliability study for the major system of reservoirs operated by the Corps of Engineers and Brazos River Authority, which reflects constraints imposed by water quality.
