7  Scenarios    7.2  Imminent Supply    7.3  Scenario Evaluation

 

7.1.1  Status Quo Scenario

This scenario allows the user to evaluate the Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett Water Supply systems in their current state, as of September 20, 1999.

 

Running the Scenario

This scenario may be implemented by using the Simulate Menu (discussed in section 4.2) to "Clear Results." This returns the model variables to their default values. The user may then choose to Run the model (discussed in section 4.2). To explore impacts of forecasted demands upon the current system, the user should change the year of investigation.

Defaults
