Determination of source of irrigation water for calibration of Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2. Draft 2. Technical report 200805. ESPAM2 design document DDW-V2-02 ''Source of Irrigation Water'' Item Info

This report is a Design Document for the calibration of the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2 (ESPAM 2). Its goals are similar to the goals of Design Documents for ESPAM 1.1: To provide full transparency of modeling data, decisions and calibration; and to seek input from representatives of various stakeholders so that the resulting product can be the best possible technical representation of the physical system (given constraints of time, funding and personnel). It is anticipated that for some topics, a single Design Document will serve these purposes prior to issuance of a final report. For other topics, a draft document will be followed by one or more revisions and a final "as-built" Design Document. Superseded Design Documents will be maintained in a "superseded" file folder on the project Website, and successive versions will be maintained in a "current" folder. This will provide additional documentation of project history and the development of ideas. The ESPAM1.1 Design Document stated: "Recharge from surface-water irrigation is the largest component of aquifer recharge, and a large source of model uncertainty. The second-largest component of aquifer discharge is net withdrawals (calculated as consumptive use, or evapotranspiration) due to ground-water irrigation. The source of water for individual parcels must be identified so that diverted volumes of surface water are applied to the appropriate spatial locations" (Contor, 2004). Additional parameters for water-budget calculation, such as evapotranspiration adjustment coefficients, could potentially depend on the source of water assigned to a particular parcel.
