Representation of soil type for calibration of Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2, as built revision 1. Technical report 201003. ESPAM2 design document DDW-V2-06, as built rev 1 ''soil type'' 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 Superseded Design Documents will be maintained in a ���superseded��� file folder on the project Website, and successive versions will be maintained in a ���current��� folder.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. In automated aquifer model calibration, investigators may instruct the software to attempt improvement in meeting calibration targets by adjusting specified input data. For the Non-irrigated Lands recharge data set, the desire was to give the calibration team the capability to multiply the depth of recharge by a specified factor. It was felt that it would be desirable to identify zones which could be assigned to different multipliers. Since the non-irrigated recharge calculation is based upon generalized soil type, it was desired to associate the zones for multipliers with regions of similar general soil characteristics. This design document describes the ESPAM2 representation of soil type for each model cell. It is anticipated that calculation of non-irrigated recharge and parameter estimation will be discussed in future Design Documents by IDWR personnel.
