Eset is working on a project for the Snohomish County Public Utility District, to develop a decision support system that will
enable the SnoPUD to optimize power production revenue. This project develops a series of models that will use streamflow forecasts
and energy prices to provide reservoir operating alternatives. This undertaking will help to create a transparent and justifiable set
of operation procedures for managing the water resources in the Public Utility District.
