and estimated return flow values computed by the Water Balance Conveyance
Model and will be completed by extending the application of the geospatial tools
beyond the test watershed to the entire basin. The functionality of the prototype
system is readily scalable to the Potomac Basin by simply appending new watershed geometries and associated tables for withdrawals and consumptive use estimates. In addition, water availability metrics, which have been simulated by the
Chesapeake Bay Program Watershed Model for the river segments, will be incorporated into the next version of the tool to allow users to assess the impact of
consumptive use on streamflow.
