Analyzing and predicting irrigation diversions in southeastern Idaho. Research technical completion report. Project B-041-IDA Item Info
![A study was done to analyze the daily water flow data from two large irrigation districts located in the Upper Snake River region of southeastern Idaho and to develop a methodology for predicting daily water diversions. Data collected during the 1978, 1979, and 1980 irrigation seasons were used for this study. Crop consumptive use was estimated by the combination method on a daily basis. [...] Graphical and statistical methods were used to determine fluctuations and relations among inflow, outflow, evapotranspiration and precipitation. A weekly cycle was found to exist within outflows, but no significant frequency was found within inflows. Relationships between time and diversion requirements were established. Based on the time effects, proper consumptive irrigation requirements were estimated at the district level. A computer program was developed for predicting water diversions for the study area and did a reasonable job.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-198105_sm.jpg)
