Description:
Design documents are a series of technical papers addressing specific design topics on the eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer Model upgrade. Each design document will contain the following information: topic of the design document, how that topic fits into the whole project, which design alternatives were considered and which design alternative is proposed. In draft form, design documents are used to present proposed designs to reviewers. Reviewers are encouraged to submit suggested alternatives and comments to the design document. Reviewers include all members of the Eastern Snake Hydrologic Modeling (ESHM) Committee as well as selected experts outside of the committee. The design document author will consider all suggestions from reviewers, update the draft design document, and submit the design document to the SRPAM Model Upgrade Program Manager. The Program Manager will make a final decision regarding the technical design of the described component. The author will modify the design document and publish the document in its final form in .pdf format on the SRPAM Model Upgrade web site. Final model documentation will include all of the design documents, edited to ensure that the "as-built" condition is appropriately represented. MODFLOW has the ability to simulate flux between surface water bodies such as the Snake River and aquifers such as the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer. This flux recharges the aquifer when the head in the river exceeds the head in the aquifer or the aquifer discharges into the river when the head in the aquifer exceeds the head in the river. MODFLOW simulates these interactions using a series of mathematical equations. In order for these equations to describe the real world situation, the terms in the equations must be populated with appropriate values. These terms include river stage, river depth, and thickness of the river bottom sediments. This document focuses on estimating these terms for the portion of the Snake River above Milner Dam. The Snake River from Milner Dam to King Hill will be treated differently and addressed in another document. Target river gains and losses used in model calibration will also be discussed in another document. PRELIMINARY DRAFT.
