USACE CWMS - Salt River Watershed (LRL)

The Corps Water Management System (CWMS) includes four interrelated models to assist with water management for the basin:

- GeoHMS (Geospatial Hydrologic Modeling Extension)
- ResSIM (Reservoir System Simulation)
- RAS (River Analysis System)
- FIA (Flood Impact Analysis)

The Salt River’s drainage area is dominated by steep shallow valleys that are subject to flash flooding. The upper drainage area is mostly rural with several small towns. Downstream of Taylorsville reservoir the basin takes on a more urban character draining parts of the Louisville metro area.

Corps 水资源管理系统（简称 CWMS）集成了四个相互关联的模型，旨在协助流域水资源管理：

- 地理水文建模扩展（GeoHMS，Geospatial Hydrologic Modeling Extension）
- 水库系统仿真（ResSIM，Reservoir System Simulation）
- 河流分析系统（RAS，River Analysis System）
- 洪水影响分析（FIA，Flood Impact Analysis）

盐河的流域区域以陡峭的浅谷为主，这些山谷易发生突发性洪水。上游流域主要为乡村地带，散布着几个小城镇。泰勒维尔水库下游，流域呈现出更加城市化的特征，汇入路易斯维尔大都市区的部分区域。
