Snake River Plain Aquifer Model scenario update: Hydrologic effects of continued 1980-2002 water supply and use conditions using Snake River Plain Aquifer Model Version 1.1, ''base case scenario''. Technical report 05-020, scenario document number DDS-001rev1 Item Info
![An evaluation of the scenario, Hydrologic Effects of Continued 1980-2002 Water Supply and Use Conditions (also known as the Base Case Scenario), was originally performed using version 1.0 of the Snake River Plain aquifer model [Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI), 2004]. The Eastern Snake River Plain aquifer (ESPA) model has been updated to version 1.1, and the results of re-running the Base Case Scenario with the updated model are presented here. The Base Case Scenario is one of many simulations using the ESPA 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 "Base Case Scenario" consists of repeatedly re-running the 22-year model. This implies that at the end of April 2002, irrigation practices, weather and crop mix immediately revert back to 1980 conditions. Nothing resembling this happened between 2002 and 2005 or can be expected in the future years. Thus, this analysis cannot be used to forecast future conditions, however it will provide an assessment of how close to equilibrium the calibration period was. The purpose of this scenario evaluation is to determine and describe how spring discharges and river gains and losses are affected by continued future water use in a manner similar to the 1980-2002 period, assuming that weather conditions for that period are also representative of the future.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-dds-001-rev1_basecase_final_v1-1_mod_sm.jpg)
