- Description:
- This report presents a water budget for the Treasure Valley aquifer system for the calendar year 1996. The water budget provides an estimate of the current balance between total aquifer withdrawals and discharge, aquifer recharge, and changes in aquifer storage. Specific objectives for this water budget were to (1) define major water budget components, (2) estimate inflows and outflows for the Treasure Valley aquifer systems, (3) describe, where possible, the spatial characteristics of the water budget data, (4) create, where possible, GIS coverages of the water budget data, and (5) create input files (e.g., recharge, withdrawals and ET) for the Treasure Valley ground water flow model. The water budget includes estimates of recharge to the Treasure Valley aquifer system, and estimates of ground water discharge. The report outlines specific water budget components, and provides estimates of aquifer recharge and discharge rates. The water budget also provides data for the development of a numerical ground water flow model for the Treasure Valley aquifer system. Aquifer recharge and ground water pumping rates are model inputs. The water budget also provides a basis for model calibration (simulated recharge and discharge rates should correspond with observed rates). The report concludes with a discussion of the water budget findings and a list of recommendations for improving the water budget. Published January, 1998; revised July, 1998.
