ABSTRACT:

In this report, I used a multi-objective optimization modeling for analyzing the trade-offs between the benefits of the recently proposed dams in the Bear River watershed in northern Utah and their effects on aquatic habitat.

ABSTRACT:

For my term project for the Water Resources Systems Analysis course (CEE 6410), I will use systems analysis approach for improving aquatic habitat for Bonneville cutthroat trout (BCT) in the Bear River watershed in Utah. My goal is to maximize water depth for BCT habitat while meeting the electricity demand produced by hydropower in the watershed.

ABSTRACT:

In this project, I will try to organize, categorize, and visualize the effects of in-stream barriers on Bonneville Cutthroat Trout habitats in the Bear River Watershed using the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro.
