CRMMS is run in two modes: 24-Month Study Mode and Ensemble Mode, which ~~replicate~~ the functions of 24MS and MTOM, respectively.		NOTE: In August 2021, Reclamation's Colorado River Modeling Group consolidated the functions of the 24-Month Study Model (24MS) and the Mid-term Probabilistic Operations Model (MTOM)--itself an offshoot of 24MS--in a single modeling platform: the Colorado River Mid-term Modeling System (CRMMS). CRMMS is run in two modes: 24-Month Study Mode and Ensemble Mode, which map onto the prior functions of 24MS and MTOM, respectively.

	~~==Methods==~~

	RiverWare is an object-oriented modeling platform in which the ''objects'' may be inflow points, river reaches, diversions, reservoirs, canals, pipelines, and other water-resource features. Rule-based simulation with adjustable logic statements (e.g., if X then Y) are applied on a regular time-step (monthly for the three Reclamation models) to track water through the network of objects according to the rules.
