This document describes the development of an equalization model for water allocation (EMWA). Existing water allocation models do not adequately calculate equity between connected headworks on a river system. EMWA aims to simulate water balance synergy to find the maximum equal K-factor values for users, representing volumetric reliability. It uses Excel and Visual Basic to iteratively calculate K-factors between headworks until deficits are minimized. The prototype of EMWA uses synthetic data to demonstrate equity of allocation between various systems. EMWA is intended to help establish strategic plans, annual allocation plans, real-time instructions and permits.
