    Abstract
    This paper discusses the importance of accounting for spatial correlation in stochastically generated precipitation records used in water supply modeling studies. By means of a case study, it is shown that the failure to reproduce the spatial correlations among stochastic precipitation records in a large watershed leads to an under-estimation of the variance of basin-wide precipitation volumes and consequently an over-estimation of water supply reliability. This in turn can lead to under-estimation of the active storage requirements for proposed reservoirs and, ultimately, water supply infrastructure ...
