Title:
Representation of recharge from canal leakage for calibration of Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2. Technical report 200804. ESPAM2 Design Doucment DDW-V2-01 "Canal Recharge"
Authors:
Contor, Bryce A.
Date Created (ISO Standard):
2008-08
Description:
As described in ESPAM1.1 Design Document DDW-020 (Contor, 2004), water that seeps from the bed of ditches and canals is direct recharge to the aquifer and is unavailable for delivery to farm fields1 (and therefore unavailable for crop evapotranspiration, return flows to the surface-water source, or in-field incidental recharge). Representation of recharge from canal seepage affects the spatial distribution of modeled recharge, but does not affect the mass balance of recharge or the aquifer water budget. This is because if the water were not applied to canal leakage, it would be applied as incidental recharge in the irrigated-lands calculations. This Design Document outlines a proposal for treatment of recharge from canal seepage for ESPAM2. It is based on discussions in ESHMC meetings during the winter of 2007-2008 and e-mail communication from members. This is a draft document designed to describe the current proposal and solicit input.
