Snake River Plain Aquifer model scenario: The sources of drawdown at A&B; ''A&B Scenario'' Item Info

This scenario, Sources of Drawdown Beneath the A&B Irrigation District (also known as the A&B Scenario), is one of the many Snake River Plain aquifer model scenarios being developed to provide technical information that will be useful in resolution of convlicts among water users and in future water administration. A collective perspective involving analysis of amny scenarious will guide water management. These scenarios are being evaluated using the enhanced Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) Model. The present version of the Snake Plain aquifer model (version 1.1) 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 Plain aquifer and the Snake River. 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 Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) led the effort and active participants in the Committee included Idaho Power Company, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, IWRRI and technical experts representing affected users. The ESHMC also provided guidance while conceptually developing this scenario and reviewed this scenario upon completion. Documentation of the model and related activities are available from the IDWR. This "A&B Scenario" is intended to answer the question "Is the drawdown observed beneath A&B primarily due to ground water use at A&B, or is it largely due to other ground water use?"
