View source for Sediment Mass Balance for HFE consideratons- Model explaination

'''How do I run the ''Sediment Model'' to indicate what managers look at when considering HFEs?''' When considering just sediment inputs- 

*[http://www.gcmrc.gov/discharge_qw_sediment/ GCMRC Sediment '''LINK''']  NOTE:  Google Chrome works best.  Explorer, Foxfire, Mozilla have issues.
*GO to the '''monitoring stations option''', and select [http://www.gcmrc.gov/discharge_qw_sediment/station/GCDAMP/09382000 '''Paria River at Lees Ferry''']. (don't just use the sand mass balance options)  
*NEXT:  select [http://www.gcmrc.gov/discharge_qw_sediment/station/GCDAMP/09382000# '''cumulative sand load'''], which is the last option on the left banner.  
*You can select any time period, and so select __/__/__ to current.  '''That graph will tell you how much sand has entered the Colorado from the Paria.'''  

*NEXT:  GO to [http://www.gcmrc.gov/discharge_qw_sediment/station/GCDAMP/09383050 '''Colorado River at 30 mile'''] and you will see how much of that sand has moved downstream from 30-mile.  
*THEN:  GO to your '''mass balance page''' … '''mass balance''' is what has gone in (Paria) minus what has gone out (past 30 mile).
