Estimates of tributary basin underflow for the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model Version 2, as built. Technical report 201010. ESPAM2 design documentt DDW-V2-13, as built 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 Superseded Design Documents will be maintained in a "superseded" file folder on the project Website, and successive versions will be maintained in a "current" folder.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. Tributary underflow is the discharge of subsurface water from a tributary basin into an area of interest, such as an aquifer. Tributary underflow to the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer is recognized in 22 surrounding basins. Because tributary underflow is flow beneath the surface, it is difficult to estimate yet it is an important component of recharge in the water budget for the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer Model. The purpose of this design document is to briefly review how the values of tributary underflow were estimated in ESPAM1.1 and to explain how estimates were made for ESPAM2.
