Snake River Plain Aquifer Model scenario: Hydrologic implications of continued drought and potential recovery form drought ''drought scenario''. Technical report 05-004. Design document DDS-007 Item Info

This scenario, Hydrologic Implications of Continued Drought and Potential Recovery from Drought, (also know as the "Drought Scenario") is one of many simulations using the Snake River Plain aquifer model to provide information and assist in resolution of conflicts among water right holders and guide future water management such as implementation of managed recharge. The purpose of the Drought Scenario is to provide context for the other scenarios, which largely examine anthropogenic stresses to the aquifer, Snake River and springs. All the scenarios use the revised Snake River Plain aquifer model to predict hydrologic response to various hypothesized aquifer stresses. The present version of the Snake River Plain aquifer model was developed with funding provided by the State of Idaho, Idaho Power Company, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The model was designed with the intent of evaluating the effects of land and water use on the exchange of water between the Snake River Plain aquifer and the Snake River. This evaluation is part of the application of the model towards this purpose. The model was developed by the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI) under the guidance, and with the participation, of the Eastern Snake Hydrologic Modeling Committee (ESHMC). The effort was led by the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) and active participants in the Committee included Idaho Power Company, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and IWRRI. The ESHMC has also served to guide and review the scenario evaluation process. Documentation of the model and related activities are available from the Idaho Department of Water Resources and the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute at the University of Idaho. This scenario, Hydrologic Implications of Continued Drought and Potential Recovery from Drought, is intended to answer the questions: "What is the expected magnitude of impacts to the Snake River and springs if the drought continues?" and "How rapid might recovery be when the drought ceases?" The modeling results predict the spatial and temporal distribution of the hydrologic impacts to springs and rivers from three different synthetic drought and recovery regimes. bDRAFTThis scenario, Hydrologic Implications of Continued Drought and Potential Recovery from Drought, (also know as the "Drought Scenario") is one of many simulations using the Snake River Plain aquifer model to provide information and assist in resolution of conflicts among water right holders and guide future water management such as implementation of managed recharge.
