- Description:
- 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 Superseded Design Documents will be maintained in a "superseded" file folder on the project Website, and successive versions will be maintained in a "current" folder.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 largest source of recharge to the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer is incidental recharge associated with surface-water irrigation. This occurs as seepage from canals, percolation below the root zone on irrigated parcels, and to some extent as seepage from drain ditches. The second largest discharge from the aquifer is pumping for groundwater irrigation. The location and extent of irrigated lands is an important input to calculation of these components of the water budget. It is also necessary to correlate individual irrigated parcels to diversion and return data, and to various calculation and calibration parameters. This is done by assigning irrigated parcels to Irrigation Entities. Entities associated with surface-water sources are called Surface-water Irrigation Entities and entities associated with groundwater irrigation are called Groundwater Polygons. This Design Document describes the geometry of the Surface-water Irrigation Entities and Groundwater Polygons that are used to make the assignments. DRAFT.
