ET Adjustment and the Entity File (*.ent) for the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2, as built. Draft. Technical report 201009. ESPAM2 Design document DDW-V2-11 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 Superseded Design Documents will be maintained in a "superseded" file folder on the project Website, and successive versions will be maintained in a "current" folder.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. Evapotranspiration (ET) on irrigated lands is required input for the ESPAM2 model. ET on irrigated land varies depending on how the land is irrigated. Calculation of ET on irrigated lands in ESPAM2 uses a unique ET adjustment factor for sprinkler irrigated land and gravity irrigated land. Each individual entity has its own ET adjustment factors for sprinkler and gravity. The purpose of this design document is to (1) provide the calculations necessary to find the ET adjustment factors for each entity and (2) provide the actual ET adjustment factors found in the entity file, denoted with the file extension ".ent". An appendix (Appendix A) is provided in this document detailing "how-to" instructions for performing the calculations in ArcMap for the purpose of repeating this procedure for new irrigated lands shapefiles. Appendix B contains the data in the actual entity file (*.ent). DRAFT.
