Preliminary hydrologic assessment of the lower Teton Basin of Southeast Idaho Item Info

In an effort to assist a Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project of Lockheed-Martin Idaho Technology in the development of an integrated water management model applicable to the lower Teton River basin (below the failed Teton Dam site), the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI) has prepared a preliminary hydrologic assessment of the lower Teton River basin in Southeast Idaho. This assessment includes the following tasks and components: Development of a conceptual model of the hydrologic system of the lower Teton River, including a preliminary water budget model, a critical review of some existing watershed models including an evaluation of their data needs, and, an investigation of the availability of the hydrologic data. The conceptual model of the lower Teton River system has been established after reviewing previous investigations in the area, including information gathered from Water District 01 of the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR), Fremont Madison Irrigation District and other sources. Four existing models were reviewed: an integrated ground water and surface water model (IGSM), two surface water models (MODSIM and WEAP), and the snowmelt and runoff model developed by Dr. Kim (1987). The identification of the major existing hydrologic data sets, their characteristics and availability have been determined from interviews with government agencies and private entities.
