Depth to water measurements in the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer: 1980 to 2000. Item Info

In order to facilitate the calibration of the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer Model (ESRPAM), depth to water measurements for the period beginning in 1980 and ending in 2000 were collected, analyzed, and stored in a database. The data will be used to support a 20-year transient calibration of the ESRPAM. Data were gathered for a 3-month interval in the spring and fall of each year centered around April 15 and October 15. Depth to water data were extracted using the program Well_Log at Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR). The depth to water data was imported into Microsoft Access 97 SR-2 as a database, imported into Microsoft Excel 97 SR-2 for file conversion, and posted in ESRI ArcView version 3.2. The following report is a summary of the collection and analysis of depth to water data, description of the database, and the reasoning behind choosing a 3-month interval over a 2-month interval for the calibration of the ESRPAM.
