Projections under Poor/No Forecast • Period of greatest uncertainty: October – January • Critical information – Risk of spill of carryover storage – Initial allocation – Positional Analysis provides broad sampling of possible hydrologic conditions – Monte-Carlo simulation with uniform sampling of historic hydrology • Climate indicators may indicate skewness from the uniform sampling – Reshaping of Position Analysis inputs – As forecast becomes available, CAM stand-alone may be used in conjunction with PA-CAM

Projections with Available Forecast • Improving forecasts: February – May • Critical information –

Projections with Available Forecast • Improving forecasts: February – May • Critical information – Delivery reliability – Storage conditions • P 25, P 50, P 75, P 90, P 99 forecasts provide traces of possible hydrologic conditions • CAM stand-alone study provides delivery and storage estimates • Longer term assessed with CAM-PA simulations

Summary • Forecast-Optimization approach shows promise for improving MWD water management • Consideration of uncertainty allows MWD decision-makers/operators to assess internal risk • Optimization approaches are actively being used in SWP and MWD systems • Future work will consider continuously-updated adjustments to forecasts • Prototype for MWD’s SWP-side supplies may be expanded
