Abstract: Abstract This paper describes the development of a stakeholder-derived, water system model for the Apalachicola–Chattahoochee–Flint (ACF) basin (ACF-STELLA) and directly compares simulated daily outputs with a more complex model (HEC-ResSim) used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to formally evaluate alternative basin management options. The two models were compared using 70 years of daily output (1939–2008; n = 25,668) for eight different ACF sites: five flow stations and three reservoir elevations. The comparison between models showed a strong match (p
