Notes:
In the interest of time, I’ll just show you an example of a summary scoring page. That is, a summary of effects over the period of record. I will point out that pretty much everything on this page is also presented graphically. Also, be aware that this same information is developed on a year-to-year basis for a more chronological perspective of each decision variable.
Don’t strain your eyes. The purpose of this slide is to show what information is contained on the summary scores page, not to actually be able to read any of the entries. At the top you see that information is provided for each of the five reaches and on the left you can see the target species and life stages with the life stage periodicity identified. Scores have been generated for each of the decision variables. Notice the shaded cells. The DSS is formatted to do this automatically. Cells shaded gray indicate that the Species/ Life stage is inactive or absent from the reach; Green shading indicates that there was an improvement in the scoring metric (>10%) and pink indicates the opposite. No shading simply indicates that whatever alternative was run, there was virtually no change in the values over the baseline. Lots of green- Good. Lots of pink- Bad. A quick and dirty opinion on what I see here– you need to look more closely at some of the more detailed output and see if the alternative can be refined. This alternative probably isn’t terrible but it does not appear to have done much good either.
One more thing- Note that there is no water temperature information on this page. That’s because there is a companion page which separately displays temperature summaries.
