Conveyance Loss Modeling of Reservoir Releases in Natural
Streams of Wyoming
Abstract
Two Wyoming streams are investigated to predict conveyance losses in natural
streams. The computer model J349, originally developed by the United States
Geological Survey, is adapted for use in assessing conveyance losses. Primary losses are
attributed to bank storage and a reduction of groundwater inflow. Periods of steady
streamflow are not required to obtain reliable estimates of conveyance loss.
