COHYST2010 Groundwater Model:Lower Reaches (Odessa, Grand Island) April 15th-16th Lincoln, NE Nebraska Department of Natural Resources
COHYST 2010 - Phase II Groundwater ModelLosing Reach: Odessa to Grand Island • Reach known to lose part of year • Target shows losses, although noisy • Simulated baseflow gain/loss • Match gains • Don’t simulate losses
COHYST 2010 - Phase II Groundwater ModelLosing Reach: Odessa to Grand Island Cumulative Flux – Odessa to Grand Island (ac-ft)
COHYST 2010 - Phase II Groundwater ModelLosing Reach: Odessa to Grand Island
COHYST 2010 - Phase II Groundwater ModelLosing Reach: Odessa to Grand Island • Reasons? • Simulated stages reasonable • Simulated aquifer heads high (~5 ft based on obs wells in vicinity) • Initial (head) condition high? • Non-stream discharges too low (pumping, GW/surface ET)
COHYST 2010 - Phase II Groundwater ModelLosing Reach: Odessa to Grand Island • Purposes/use of GW model: • Depletions analysis • CycleWell (hydrologic connection) analysis • How much does mismatch at this reach matter? • Non-linearity from drying up STR
