Estimating irrigation entity diversions: Snake River. Technical Report 04-012. Scenario document number DDW-012 Item Info

Design documents are a series of technical papers addressing specific design topics on the eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer Model upgrade. Each design document will contain the following information: topic of the design document, how that topic fits into the whole project, which design alternatives were considered and which design alternative is proposed. In draft form, design documents are used to present proposed designs to reviewers. Reviewers are encouraged to submit suggested alternatives and comments to the design document. Reviewers include all members of the Eastern Snake Hydrologic Modeling (ESHM) Committee as well as selected experts outside of the committee. The design document author will consider all suggestions from reviewers, update the draft design document, and submit the design document to the SRPAM Model Upgrade Program Manager. The Program Manager will make a final decision regarding the technical design of the described component. The author will modify the design document and publish the document in its final form in .pdf format on the SRPAM Model Upgrade web site. Final model documentation will include all of the design documents, edited to ensure that the "as-built" condition is appropriately represented. Percolation from surface water irrigation is the largest component of recharge to the eastern Snake Plain Aquifer. In order to effectively and accurately estimate this recharge component of the system, irrigation diversions from the river must be estimated with the highest degree of accuracy as possible. Return flow to the river and evapotranspiration are also components of calculating percolation from surface water irrigation, and are discussed in design documents DDW-005, DDW-006, DDW-007, and DDW-010. This paper summarizes and analyzes the method of estimating irrigation entity diversions from the Snake River within the boundaries of the ESPAM study area. Non- Snake River diversions are discussed in DDW-025. The related topics of aggregating surface water canal companies into surface water irrigation entities and calculating return flow lag factors are discussed in design documents DDW-008 and DDW-005, respectively.
