20. Finalize Baseline scenario (data, economic information, etc.)
PROBLEMS
RRM model (daily data for control points on subcatchment, data cannot be calibrated to a control station)
Water Quality (Stream cannot be used since there were no levels of BOD detected during sampling in the River; potential campaign in summer(?))
FUTURE WORKS
Finalize Baseline scenario (data, economic information, etc.)
Input to WP04 (Instruments and water technologies, cost of infrastructure on the River
Optimization runs
Second workshop to quantify constraints, validate scenarios, in August 2006 after the progress report
