CWUAS Index

The Cumulative Water Use and Availability Study (CWUAS) Tool provides a series of analytical components that automate the quantification of water use, capacity, and availability at user input pour point locations throughout the Susquehanna River Basin. Water availability is defined as water capacity minus consumptive use within the watershed upstream of a pour point. The Tool will assist in both identifying watersheds with existing and/or projected water availability concerns and evaluating management alternatives to mitigate impacts of cumulative consumptive use within the Basin.
