Land use. Technical report 04-007. Project scenario document DDW-015 final as-built 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. This is the final as-built report for determination of land use and land cover. Recharge calculations depend on the type of land use or land cover. Recharge on irrigated lands was calculated according to the net application of irrigation water from surface sources, the mix of crops, the application method, and the adjusted evapotranspiration rate according to the nearest weather station. Design Documents DDW-001, DDW-002, and DDW-005 through DDW-017 discuss various aspects of this calculation. Recharge on non-irrigated lands was calculated according to procedures presented in Design Document DDW-003. Knowledge of land use or cover was required to determine which calculation method to use, and to apply the appropriate parameters in calculating recharge. There are large differences in recharge rate, depending on the land use. Wetlands that are interconnected with the aquifer may result in a recharge of negative two feet per year or more (Goodell 1988), while other non-irrigated lands may have positive recharge of a few tenths of a foot (Garabedian 1992). Irrigated lands may have positive recharge rates of up to several feet. These large differences in recharge rate make it important to correctly identify the land use within the study area. This paper describes land use maps used in previous studies, the options available for the Eastern Snake Plain Model Enhancement Project, and the methods chosen.
