Representation of MODFLOW-2000 river cells for the Snake River above Milner Dam and American Falls Reservoir for calibration of the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2. IWRRI Technical report 200902. ESPAM 2 Design Document DDM-V2-03 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 Superseded Design Documents will be maintained in a "superseded" file folder on the project Website, and successive versions will be maintained in a "current" folder.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. One-month stress periods are called for in ESPAM 2. Answers to the following questions were pursued in an attempt to update ESPAM 2 and will be discussed in sections to follow: 1.) How do we adjust for one-month stress periods? 2.) Will we adjust the river bottom elevations? 3.) Should we change the number of cells representing American Falls Reservoir, and if so how should it be changed? 4.) How should we change the stage elevation at American Falls Reservoir to account for the monthly stress periods? 5.) How will flux (Q) be calculated? 6.) Will conductance of the river cells change relative to ESPAM 1.1?
