14. ABSTRACT
The record Northeastern United States drought of the 1960's has necessitated a detailed reappraisal of water resource
systems previously proposed in the affected areas. The ability to judge the competency of proposed engineering structures
in the Delaware basin has been hampered by the diversity of projects, the political constraints on existing projects in the
upper portion of the basin and the numerous alternative demands on available surface water. To facilitate analysis of the
effects of the drought, a mathematical modeling technique has been developed to allow simulation of the hydrologic
properties of the lower Delaware basin and proposed engineering structures. The technique and its application to the
Delaware are discussed. The results of the reappraisal of project yields utilizing the model are presented and compared
with pre-1960 yield estimates.
