This study presents preliminary findings from three additional model runs, separating the Klamath Basin into two areas for analysis. The impacts of instream claims, project claims, ESA requirements, and tribal deferments are assessed on different segments of the basin. The results highlight the effects on lake levels, monthly deliveries, and yearly allocations. By comparing various runs, the study provides insights into the influence of different factors on water distribution in the Klamath Basin.
E N D
Klamath Distribution Model Preliminary Results
Three Additional Model Runs • Separate Basin into two areas- Above Klamath Lake and • Klamath Lake to Iron Gate. (Run 5) • Turn Instream Claims above Klamath Lake off. • Using Adjudicators Preliminary Findings for • Instream Claims
General Results with basin separated. • Isolates effects of lake level claims and project claims on upper basin.
Run 2 (D5) • All Irrigation Claims On, Tribal Instream and Lake Level Claims On (Riparian), ESA Requirements OFF, Basin Divided in two- Above Klamath Lake and Below Klamath Lake
Run 3 • All Irrigation Claims On, Tribal Instream and Lake Level Claims (Riparian) Defer to “-1864” Priority Group, ESA Requirements Off
Comparison of Runs 1 and 2 • Effects of ESA Requirements
Examples of ESA Effects on Monthly Average Deliveries Results Typical for Sycan, Lower Sprague, Lower Williamson, Modoc, and Williamson Delta Areas
Examples of ESA Effects on Monthly Average Deliveries Results Typical for Areas Below Klamath Lake
Comparison of Run 1 and 3 • Effects of Tribal Claims Deferring to “-1864” Priority Group
Examples of Tribal Deference on Monthly Deliveries Results Typical in all Other Sub-Basins Above Klamath Lake
Examples of Tribal Deference on Monthly Deliveries Results Typical in all Other Sub-Basins Below Klamath Lake
