Abstract
Water resources of river and reservoir systems are shared by many people for diverse, sometimes complimentary but often competing purposes. Effective water management requires a thorough understanding of water availability assessed from a reliability or frequency perspective. The great variability inherent in river system hydrology and the complexities of managing constructed facilities are important considerations in assessing capabilities for meeting water needs. The following two institutional dimensions highlighted in this article are also crucial in water availability modeling.
