Estimating Irrigation prior to 1900 Sources: History of Irrigation Development in Idaho, Lewis, 1924 Pioneer Irrigation, Upper Snake River Valley, Carter, 1955 Irrigated Eden, Fiege 1999 Madison County Findings 1) Irrigation Started around ) Water Rights filed before actual diversions began 3) The ‘Panic of 93’ led to the end of irrigation expansion 4) Around 1900 sugar beet factories

Estimating Unregulated Flow Source: Wise, Erika K. (2010). “Tree ring record of streamflow and drought in the upper Snake River.” Water Resources Research, vol. 46: W year Tree-Ring Record Flow at Jackson Lake Flow at Palisades Flow at Heise

Estimating Unregulated Flow-Annual Source: Wise, Erika K. (2010). “Tree ring record of streamflow and drought in the upper Snake River.” Water Resources Research, vol. 46: W11529.

Estimating Unregulated Flow-Monthly Monthly Estimation Procedure 1) Rank Years by Annual Flow ( ) 2) Calculate Average Monthly Hydrograph per category 3) Calculate standard deviation per category 4) F m = (F a – F avga )/STD avga *STD avgm +F mavg ) OctNovDecJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepAnnaul Validate r² = 0.82 Calibrate r² = 0.80 Validate r² = 0.87

Modeling Monthly Recharge SD-SRPM (System Dynamics Snake River Planning Model) Model Assumptions 1) No minimum flow requirements 2) No reservoir storage 3) No groundwater pumping 4) Linear increase in irrigation demand from ) 75% of current demand

Modeling Monthly Recharge SD-SRPM (System Dynamics Snake River Planning Model)

Modeling Monthly Recharge SD-SRPM (System Dynamics Snake River Planning Model) Findings 1) Correctly identify historic shortages between ) Irrigation induced ESPA discharge (≈ 5 kaf) below Milner 3) Irrigation impact constant below Milner

Some Thoughts How to validate 1) SD-SRPM allows estimation of monthly recharge 2) Should validation be at a monthly timestep? 3) Possible uses of a Systems Model for ESHCM & IDWR Estimate Recharge (historic-availability) Estimate Recharge (land-use changes)
