100ObservedSimulatedDISCHARGE, IN THOUSANDS OF CUBIC FEET PER SECOND101O N D J F M A M J J A S1972WATER YEARFigure 28. Observed <strong>and</strong> simulated discharge from combined <strong>Precipitation</strong>-<strong>Runoff</strong> Modeling System (PRMS) <strong>and</strong>Diffusion Analogy Flow (DAFLOW) modeling <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> McKenzie River at Coburg, Oregon (stream-gaging station14165500), 1972 water year. (See Glossary <strong>for</strong> program descriptions.)Main-Stem NetworksFor convenience, <strong>the</strong> main stem of <strong>the</strong>Willamette River was divided into four networks.River segments were divided into several branches <strong>and</strong>connected to one ano<strong>the</strong>r similar to how <strong>the</strong> tributarynetworks were constructed. A starting hydrographfrom observed streamflow was input at grid 1 ofbranch 1. Tributary inflow was simulated by PRMSmodeling of <strong>the</strong> appropriate HRU’s, which were inputto corresponding grid locations in DAFLOW. Wheremajor tributary inflow was required, such as flow from<strong>the</strong> McKenzie River, <strong>the</strong> flow from that network had tobe simulated first to obtain <strong>the</strong> required input hydrograph.Input files <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> following networks can befound in Appendix 7.Willamette River from Jasper to HarrisburgThe mapped <strong>and</strong> schematized Willamette Riverfrom Jasper to Harrisburg stream network is shownon figure 29. For this reach, <strong>the</strong> Willamette River isschematized as a three-branch network with fivetributary inflows. A flow hydrograph <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> mouthof <strong>the</strong> McKenzie River was simulated by routingflow from <strong>the</strong> stream-gaging station at Vida <strong>and</strong>PRMS modeling of tributary basins <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n inputto <strong>the</strong> Willamette WDM file. A discharge hydrographfrom observed data at <strong>the</strong> USGS stream-gaging stationon <strong>the</strong> Middle Fork Willamette River at Jasper(14152000) at RM 195.0 was used as <strong>the</strong> upstreamboundary input. Subbasin hydrographs <strong>for</strong> three minortributaries were simulated by PRMS modeling <strong>and</strong>51
