1 Cooperative Hydrology Study Mississippi Water Resources Conference Presentation By Duane Woodward Central Platte NRD

2 COHYST Process to develop databases and analytical tools to improve understanding of hydrologic and geologic conditions in the Platte River Basin. STUDY AREA

3 Sponsors Central Platte NRD Tri-Basin NRD Twin Platte NRD Central Nebraska Public Power & Irrigation District Nebraska Public Power District Nebraska Department of Natural Resources Nebraska Game & Parks Commision

4 COHYST s Purposes: Understand Groundwater/Surface Water Relationships Platte River Cooperative Agreement process Evaluation of management / regulation options Provide data & information to Nebraska s policy makers

5 No New Depletions to FWS Target Flows after July 1, 1997 from: New surface water diversions New groundwater pumping

6 COHYST & Integrated Management Analysis and comparison of potential alternatives regarding impact on groundwater and stream flow

7 MODFLOW Regional Models Western Model Unit Souix Box Butte Sheridan Central Model Unit Scotts Bluff Banner Morrill Arthur McPherson Eastern Model Unit Kimball Cheyenne Garden Deuel Keith Custer Merrick Polk Perkins Lincoln Dawson Buffalo Hall Hamilton York Chase Hayes Frontier Red Willow Gosper Phelps Kearney Adams Clay Harlan Franklin Webster Nuckolls Boundary of High Plains aquifer

8 Estimated Stream Depletion in the Nebraska Platte Basin due to New Irrigated Land after 07/01/1997 Prepared by the Cooperative Hydrology Study (COHYST) for the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) July 2008

9 Stream Depletion Analysis Reaches used in analysis A Wyoming to Kingsley Dam (blue streams) B Kingsley Dam to Tri-County Supply Canal (violet streams) C Tri-County Supply Canal to Lexington (cyan streams) D Lexington to U.S. Highway 183 (pink streams) Reaches used in analysis E U.S. Highway 183 to Chapman (blue streams) F Chapman to Columbus (violet streams) A Streams are assigned to reach based on where they contribute to flow of Platte River B C D E F

10 Results Lexington to Hwy. 183 (D) Jan-38 Jan-28 Jan-18 Jan-08 D Jan-98 Stream depletion, in acre-feet per day

11 Results (continued) Annual results for year ending May 1 of indicated year Units are thousands of acre-feet per year Wyoming line to Kingsley Dam Kingsley Dam to Tri-County Canal Tri-County Canal to Lexington Lexington to Highway Highway 183 to Chapman Chapman to Columbus TOTAL

12 Stream Depletion of Pumping Wells Pumping period 50 years Analysis was developed by running a cycle well program for the Platte Basin model cells. Analysis provide area where Stream Depletion was > 10% at the end of 50 years

13 Fully Appropriated Area Over Appropriated Area

14 COHYST 2010 A Total Water Budget Approach to Integrated Water Management

15 Focus on new area:

16 New Management Objectives Model must take into account: Complete water budget Temporal variability Transient flow targets Consumptive use Tracking and Accounting Incorporate surface water component Capable of management alternatives analysis

17 Phases Phase I: Water Budget Phase II: Develop a suite of modeling tools Phase III: Apply developed tools

18 Atmosphere Precipitation (P) Evapotranspiration (ET) Surface Water in (SWI) 1.4 Groundwater in (GWI) 0.5 Land Surface -0.1 Aquifer -0.6 Change in Storage (ΔSTO) Change in Storage (ΔSTO) Surface Water out (SWO) 2.2 Groundwater out (GWO) 0.6 Measured water budget, mean conditions. Units = Million acre-feet/year

FINDINGS: Olsson used a three-step analysis strategy to develop a benefit cost ratio that would indicate the relative feasibility of this project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FINDINGS: Based on the results of this feasibility study, the Platte Republican Diversion Project would be cost-effective. With minimal improvements to the channel, and the existing bridge
