The Division of Water Resources (DWR) and local stakeholders commissioned a study to develop a hydrologic simulation model for the basin. The stakeholders include the counties and municipalities within the basin. The model includes the entire watershed from the headwaters down to Lock and Dam #1 near Wilmington.
