The ISOP2001 model simulation with SFWMM v5.4 builds upon the 2000B2 run. All assumptions are the same with the exception of operations of the South Dade Conveyance System and water deliveries to Everglades National Park. In 2000B2, these operations are those known as "Test 7, Phase 1"; in this simulation the operations are known as "ISOP 2001".
The ISOP2001 run is being used to revise the Regional Evaluation Team's performance measure WS-E6: Comparison of Stage Differences of Water Levels in the South Miami-Dade Agricultural Area.
More information on these simulations can be found on the run content pages.
Comparison: NSM4.6.2, 2000B2, 2050B2, CERP0, CERP1
CERP0 uses D13R public water supply demands in the LEC and "D13R-like" demands in the Caloosahatchee (C-43) basin.
CERP1 uses updated public water supply demands in the LEC (as in the 2050 future without project condition) and updated agricultural water supply demands in the Caloosahatchee Basin (also in the 2050 future without) but limits average annual water supply deliveries from lake Okeechobee to the Caloosahatchee Basin to be the same as annual average D13R volumes.

The 2000 Existing Condition and 2050 Future Without Project condition have been updated to:
The Natural System Model has been updated to V4.6.2 to use consistent topo data with SFWMMv5.4 in areas where subsidence is not accounted for and to use consistent static data (e.g. storage coefficients) with SFWMMv5.4.
The 2050 future without the CERP project is compared against the 2000 existing condition and pre-drainage condition represented by the Natural System Model simulation. Non-CERP projects and operations, including the Everglades Construction Project, Modified Water Deliveries to Everglades National Park and the C-111 project are included in the 2050 future without project condition as well as projected water supply demands and associated land use changes.

This web posting begins the review and discussion of new assumptions and results for hydrologic modeling of South Florida in the ongoing Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) planning process. The first results posted are those for the 2000 Existing Condition and the Natural System Model. These results incorporate updated information, improved assumptions and improved model versions since publication of the Central and Southern Florida Comprehensive Review Study (the Yellow Book) in 1999. They will help us to refine our understanding of existing and future hydrologic conditions in South Florida and develop project plans that will better solve existing problems, and better restore hydrologic conditions needed for Everglades health and restoration, while providing for the region's other water related needs.
Planning by its nature is iterative. The initial assumptions for the 2000 Existing Condition, as currently modeled for the Initial CERP Update, are to be used for planning purposes only and are presented on this website under the "Alternative or Scenario Descriptions" button. There, you will also find a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs). Assumptions, models and input data may change over time, as the review and planning process proceeds. Additionally, as review of the calibration/verification of the South Florida Water Management Model (SFWMM) goes forward, there is the potential that the outputs (results) of the model may be refined as well.
The assumptions for the proposed 2000 Existing Condition should not be construed as those that will necessarily be contained within the "Pre-CERP Basline" as called for in the draft Programmatic Regulations (August 2002). The definition of the assumptions to be used in the Pre-CERP Baseline will be coordinated through an interagency process as required by sub-part 385.35 of the draft Programmatic Regulations.
