A Comparison of Models for Flow Through the Causeway, Great Salt Lake, Utah

Abstract

Both scientific and economic importance is attached to knowledge of the mechanism and quantity of brine flow through a rock-fill causeway in Great Salt Lake, Utah. Several mathematical models have been devised to describe the flow and also the characteristics of south arm brines. Among these models, the most useful is the Waddell-BoIke digital computer model, which is based on the total hydrology of the lake.
