Snake River Plain Aquifer Model scenario: Managed recharge in the Thousand Springs Area ''managed recharge scenario''. Draft. Technical report 04-002. Scenario document number DDS-002 Item Info
![This scenario, Managed Recharge in the Thousand Springs Area (also known as the Recharge Scenario), is one of many Snake River Plain aquifer model scenarios being developed to assist in resolution of conflicts among water users and guide future water management such as implementation of managed recharge. Water management should be guided by a collective perspective from many of the scenario evaluations rather than a single document. These scenarios are being prepared for use with the enhanced Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) Model. [...] This "Recharge Scenario" is intended to answer the question "If we had been recharging in the Milner-Gooding and Northside Canal recharge sites during the past 22 years using all available water and canal capacity, what would be the expected increases in discharges to the river as a result of the managed recharge?" This scenario models one of the proposed managed recharge methods documented in "Draft Managed Aquifer Recharge Proposal, Thousand Springs Area, Idaho" (IDWR, 2004). The underlying theory of this scenario is that if, during the period of 1980-2002, we had been able to conduct managed recharge using available water, there would have been an increase in spring discharges to the Snake River. This scenario models this managed recharge and assesses the resultant distribution of gains to the Snake River. It is important to recognize that even after cessation of managed recharge activities, there is a residual impact to river reaches due to previous years of managed recharge. The magnitude and timing of this residual impact can also be evaluated using these scenarios. DRAFT.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-recharge report_draft4_sm.jpg)
