ABSTRACT: The unimpaired flow data was developed to populate the HEC-5, ACF-STELLA, and more recently Res-Sim models for 23 local inflows at control points throughout the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint (ACF) watershed. Unimpaired flows are created when the influence of human regulation and withdrawals are removed from historical streamflow gauge records. Regionally accumulated unimpaired inflows or unimpaired local incremental inflows were developed and routed together through a model in the main channels to form the main channel unimpaired flows. The UIFs are used as inputs into several models where they are routed through a series of diversions, consumption, and water control structure releases. Simulations of policies on the ACF can then be conducted for a variety of operations. This type of model has been used to analyze the impacts of various governance scenarios on the ACF basin and other basins throughout the nation.
