Snake River Plain Aquifer Model scenario: Hydrologic effects of changes in surface water irrigation ''No surface-water changes scenario''. Draft. Technical report 04-003. Design document DDS-003 Item Info
![This scenario, Hydrologic Effects of Changes in Surface-water Irrigation Practices (also known as the No Changes in Surface-water Practices 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. Water management should be guided by a collective perspective, using many of the scenario evaluations rather than a single document. [...] This "No Changes in Surface-water Practices Scenario" is intended to answer the question: "If surface-water irrigation practices had remained as they were in the 1950s, how much higher would spring discharges be today?". This scenario is presented to provide context for other scenarios and allow comparison of relative magnitudes of other scenarios. Because this "No Changes in Surface-water Practices Scenario" incorporates changes in diversions that may be the direct result of ground-water development, it is not additive to other scenarios. In particular, this scenario is not additive to the Curtailment Scenario. Goals of the "No Changes in Surface-water Practices" analysis are: 1. Describe changes in surface water diversions and consumptive use on surfacewater- irrigated lands. 2. Quantify the propagation of these changes through the aquifer to the springs and river reaches. 3. Describe the uncertainty associated with estimates and assumptions used in the analysis. 4. Identify potential causes for observed changes in diversions and partition the total amount of change to these possible causes. 5. Compare the results of this scenario with other scenarios and other hydrologic studies. DRAFT.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-no_del_sw_11_14_04_sm.jpg)
