1 IDC, UNIQUELY POSITIONED FOR DIVERSE APPLICATIONS Prepared for CWEMF Annual Meeting 2011 Prepared by Reza Namvar, Mesut Cayar, Jon Traum, Elias Tijerina, Saquib Najmus and Ali Taghavi RMC WRIME, Inc. March 2, 2011

2 Outline IDC Background Why IDC for Demand Analysis Application to a MODFLOW Model Application to Regional Demand Analysis

3 IDC Background IDC (IWFM Demand Calculator) is a standalone model that computes: Root zone processes, Deep percolation rates, and Irrigation water requirements.

4 Selected Root Zone Flow Processes Simulated by IDC

5 Computational Grids of IDC Subregions Finite Element Grid Finite Difference Grid

6 Linking IDC to Other Models IDC can be used as a stand alone model for estimation of agricultural demand and/or urban demand, as well as estimation of infiltration and deep percolation through a soil moisture accounting routine IDC may be linked to groundwater models such as MODFLOW, MicroFEM or for calculation of GW pumping and recharge data Hydrologic models use the water demand data to estimate GW pumping and/or SW deliveries required to meet the demand

7 Why IDC for Demand Analysis Stand alone water demand model. Incorporates major agricultural and urban water demand parameters. Calculates water demand and deep percolation rates that could be imported into other models. May be linked to groundwater models such as MODFLOW

8 IDC Application to MODFLOW Calculation of Agricultural Pumping and Deep Percolation for Riverside Arlington Basin GW Model

9 Model Area

10 MODFLOW Model Simulated Basins Arlington, Riverside, southern parts of Rialto Colton Basins in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties Model Grid 95 square miles Uniform cell size (50 m x 50 m)

12 MODFLOW Model Grid 182,700 cells per layer

13 Active Model Cells 14,000 in Layer 1 72,000 in Layer 2 45,000 in Layer 3 131,000 Total

14 Hydrologic Soil Groups

15 29 Small Watersheds

16 1993 Land Use

17 2008 Urban Areas

18 IDC Subregions 20 SRs in Arlington 60 SRs in Riverside 4 SRs in Rialto Colton 113 Total SRs

19 Calculation of Deep Percolation/Recharge Rates using IDC IDC calculates daily deep percolation / groundwater recharge from: Rainfall Applied water IDC calculation are performed for subregions (areas with similar land use and soil type) 84 subregions 29 small watersheds Simulation Period:

20 Transferring Deep Percolation Rates to MODFLOW Model Calculate Deep Percolation Rates for Each Subregion Using IDC Using GIS, Apply Deep Percolation Rates to MODFLOW model cells Used a FORTRAN utility program to Build MODFLOW Recharge File

21 Consistency of IDC and MODFLOW Ag GW pumping & DP Estimates IDC Deep Percolation Calculation MODFLOW Calibration Soil K & IE Adjustment

22 Summary IDC: A great & easy to use tool for estimation of ag water demand, gw pumping, and deep percolation IDC: A useful and robust tool for pre processor to MODFLOW & other similar models An iterative solution to the IDC recharge estimation and GW simulation is required to ensure a robust modeling process

23 IDC Application to Regional Demand Analysis Treasure Valley, ID
