Basin-Wide Framework for Drought Forecasting and Planning in the Chesapeake Bay Region Client: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Susquehanna River Basin Commission Location: Chesapeake Bay Region and Susquehanna River Basin Hazen and Sawyer worked closely with the Susquehanna River Basin Commission to expand and upgrade their existing OASIS water supply system simulation model. Hazen provided substantial upgrades to the model, including to the consumptive use record; reservoir conservation releases and pass-by ows; the long-term hydrologic record; and operating policies. Hazen further provided training for SRBC modeling sta in using the new version of the OASIS graphical user interface (GUI) and continues to provide on-call support to planning and modeling sta .Re
