1 Spokane County Water Demand Forecast Model IWAC & CAMP Joint Meeting March 11, 2014 Mike Hermanson Water Resources Specialist Spokane County Resources

2 Presentation Overview Project Overview Overall Model Structure Model Development Forecast Results Comparison to Idaho Future Water Demand Study Potential Application in Idaho

3 Water Demand Project Overview Initial Model Developed (Model 1.0) January 2010 to June 2010 Project managed by Spokane County with technical consultants CDM & Tetra Tech. Included advisory committee. Model Refinement, Calibration, & Verification (Model 2.0) June 2010-January 2011 Developed new single family & multi family models Calibrated & verified the model, using water system data Developed forecast & wrote report Forecast update, Consumptive/Non-consumptive separation, & return flow routing (Model 3.0) Used updated housing & employment data that was based on new census data, new economic forecast Separated consumptive & non-consumptive, and routed return flow

4 Overall Model Structure Segregated by Water Use Sector County Forecast Public Supply Self Supply Residential Self Supply Industry Agricultural Commercial Industrial Single Family Residence & Yard Thermoelectric Power Livestock Urban Irrigation Multi-Family Small Agriculture Golf Courses Irrigated Acres Public-Supply Agriculture Non Revenue Water Large Industry

5 Overall Model Structure Commercial Industrial Public Supply Single Family Overall Model County Forecast Self Supply Residential Residence & Yard Self Supply Industry Thermoelectric Power Agricultural Livestock Forecast model is comprised of sub models that vary in complexity from unit (simple) to econometric (complex). County Urban Irrigation Multi-Family Small Agriculture Golf Courses Irrigated Acres Public-Supply Agriculture Non Revenue Water Large Industry Unit Use: gallons per day per hohold gallons per day per acre gallons per day per employee Modified Unit Use Seasonal adjustments Econometric: Water is a function of variables Income, home value, lot size, weather, etc. Statistically derived equation Commercial Industrial Urban Irrigation Public Supply Sub Models Single Family Multi-Family Self Supply Residentia Residenc & Yard Small Agricultu Public-Supply Agriculture Non Revenue Water

6 Overall Model Structure Segregated Spatially 513 separate forecast units A unique water demand calculation is done for each forecast unit Can evaluate different areas of interest Areas over the SVRP aquifer for groundwater return flow Areas served by aquifer for SVRP groundwater withdrawals

7 Overall Model Structure Segregated in monthly increments

8 CFS (cubic feet pjer second) Water Demand Model Overview Model is highly disaggregated which allows for many types of analysis, for example: Water from SVRP Self supplied water in Little Spokane River Basin Each forecast unit can have different inputs into each sub model Water demand calculation for each month County Forecast 700 SVRP Aquifer Monthly Water Demand 2010 & 2040 Public Supply Self Supply Residential Self Supply Industry Agricultural Commercial Industrial Single Family Residence & Yard Thermoelectric Power Livestock Urban Irrigation Multi-Family Small Agriculture Golf Courses Irrigated Acres 200 Public-Supply Agriculture Non Revenue Water Large Industry 100 0

9 Water Demand Model Overview Developed and runs in Excel Series of interconnected spreadsheet and formulas

10 Model Development Fundamental components of the model Water Use per unit - Unit Use - Econometric Quantity of Units (Demand Drivers) Water Demand Variables for econometric models (Demand Factors) Seasonal Adjustments Model complexity from the adaptation of this approach to each water sector and subsector

11 Model Development Water Use Per Unit Data Public Supply Model Monthly water data per connection by sector for multiple years from Water Purveyors Single family multi-family commercial industrial Irrigation Wastewater data Commercial/Industrial water data by employee Agricultural Washington State Irrigation Guide Self Supplied Residential Residential Water Use Survey Self Supplied Industrial NPDES Discharge Monitoring Reports, BiState aquifer study, Watershed Planning Data Assessments

12 Model Development Demand Factors Data Weather NOAA, Agrimet Temperature Precipitation ET Estimates Census Data Hohold size Family size Hohold income Assessor Data Single family residential assessed value Lot size GIS Spatial Analysis of Well Yield Water availability limitations USGS Land Cover Data Rural residential setting

13 Model Development Demand Drivers Data SRTC TAZ Data Single family residential housing units Multi family residential housing units Commercial & industrial employment Acres of urban irrigation Digitized from Aerial Photo Acres of crop irrigation Agricultural Census, Digitized from Aerial Photo Number of livestock Agricultural Census Large self supplied commercial/industrial Bistate aquifer study, Watershed Planning Assessments

14 Model Development Consumptive Use & Return Flow water demand for each sector/subsector is separated into consumptive and non-consumptive and routing the return flow of non-consumptive. Model Before Update Total Water Demand

27 Water Demand Forecast Total Water Demand from SVRP = 151,586 AF/year Consumptive Demand = 55,857 AF/year Non-Consumptive Demand = 95,730 AF/year Return to ground from outdoor irrigation = 28,838 AF/ year Return to municipal WWTP = 38,554 AF/year (53 cfs) Return to industrial WWTP = 25,315 AF/year (34 cfs) Return to septic = 3,023 AF/year 42% of water withdrawn from the SVRP Aquifer is returned to the Spokane River via surface water discharge. Consumptive 37% Returns to Industrial WWTP with surface water discharge 17% Returns to groundwater 19% Returns to Municipal WWTP with surface water discharge 25% Returns to Septic 2% SVRP Aquifer Annual Water Demand & Return Flows

40 Single Family Residential To separate outdoor water into consumptive and nonconsumptive components it is necessary to know how much landscape is irrigated. Indoor water If 500 gallons per day is d on 100 sq. ft. much of it would be non consumptive it would be consumed Indoor consumptive Indoor nonconsumptive Total daily water per single family residence Outdoor water % Consumptive area of irrigated landscape If 500 gallons per day is d on 1 acre most of Water per ft 2 of irrigated landscape Return Flow ET Rate Onsite septic Sanitary sewer Outdoor consumptive Outdoor nonconsumptive

41 Single Family Residential Estimating area of irrigated landscape Parcel size Building footprint Need to know how to split remaining portion of lot into landscaped and non-landscaped Took a random sample of 284 parcels to estimate percentage
