| THE DESERT RESEARCH INSTITUTE (DRI) PREPARED THIS WORK AS PART OF THE KLAMATH RIVER REVISED NATURAL FLOW STUDY (KRRNFS). IN 2020 AS PART OF THE KLAMATH BASIN SCIENCE INITIATIVE, THE UNITED STATES (U.S.) DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR (DOI) TASKED RECLAMATION WITH ESTIMATING REFINED NATURAL STREAMFLOW ESTIMATES THROUGHOUT THE KLAMATH RIVER BASIN IN A COMPREHENSIVE NATURAL FLOW STUDY (NFS). FOR THE NFS, WE DEFINE NATURAL STREAMFLOW AS THE STREAMFLOW THAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN THE ABSENCE OF LAND USE CHANGES (AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY, ETC.), MAJOR DEVELOPMENT (ROADS, RAILROADS, MUNICIPALITIES, ETC.), AND WATER MANAGEMENT (DAMS, HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS, ETC.). THIS STUDY AIMS TO ADVANCE SCIENCE IN THE KLAMATH RIVER BASIN, AND THEREBY SUPPORT FUTURE ANALYSES AND STUDIES THROUGHOUT THE BASIN. PRIMARILY, THE KRRNFS LEVERAGES CURRENT SCIENCE, DATA, METHODS, AND TOOLS TO DEVELOP REVISED NATURAL STREAMFLOW ESTIMATES FOR THE KLAMATH RIVER BASIN, WHILE IMPROVING UPON LIMITATIONS OF PREVIOUS ESTIMATES (RECLAMATION, 2005 HARDY ADDLEY, 2006) AND INCORPORATING COMMENTS PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL (NRC) (2008). THE RESULTING NATURAL STREAMFLOW ESTIMATES MAY BE OF USE IN HABITAT STUDIES, DROUGHT PLANNING, AND WATER SUPPLY ALLOCATION DECISION MAKING.THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION TASK TO SUPPORT THE KRRNFS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANNUAL ESTIMATES OF 1) ACTUAL ET (ETA), EFFECTIVE PRECIPITATION, AND NET EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (ET) FOR CROPLANDS, 2) ETA AND NET ET FOR WETLANDS, 3) GROUNDWATER ET (ETG) FROM PHREATOPHYTE SHRUBLAND VEGETATION. THIS WORK INCLUDED THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMEROUS SUPPORTING AND DERIVED GEOSPATIAL DATASETS DESCRIBING IRRIGATED AREA, IRRIGATION SYSTEM TYPE, AND CROPLAND FIELD BOUNDARY EXTENTS. THESE DATASETS ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR QUANTIFYING THE HYDROLOGIC BUDGET, CONSUMPTIVE WATER USE, AND MODEL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS THAT WILL SUPPORT CONCEPTUAL AND NUMERICAL MODELING ACTIVITIES BEING CONDUCTED BY THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATIONS TECHNICAL SERVICE CENTER (TSC) AND THE USGS TO ARRIVE AT DAILY NATURALIZED STREAMFLOW ESTIMATES IN THE KLAMATH RIVER BASIN OVER WATER YEARS 19812020.THIS WORK IMPROVES ON PREVIOUS ANALYSES WHICH RELIED ON ASSUMED OR STATIC RATES OF ET AND EFFECTIVE PRECIPITATION, THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE WHICH COMBINES CUTTING-EDGE CLOUD-COMPUTING, MANUALLY-EDITED AGRICULTURAL FIELD BOUNDARIES DEPICTING THE MAXIMUM IRRIGATED EXTENT, LONG-TERM REMOTE SENSING DATA PROVIDED BY LANDSAT (19852020), AND DAILY CALCULATIONS OF METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PRODUCED BY GRIDMET (19792020). THE PRODUCED DATA WERE DYNAMIC OVER THE PERIOD OF STUDY AND REPRESENT REAL, ON-THE-GROUND CONDITIONS OF THE STUDY AREA. THE PRIMARY RESULTS FROM THIS EFFORT ARE COMPILED INTO A SERIES OF FIELD SPECIFIC .CSV FILES WHICH ARE FORMATTED FOR USE IN MODELING AND ANALYSIS USING COMPUTER SCRIPTING LANGUAGES. THE DATA PRODUCED BY THE ET TASK MAY BE AGGREGATED TO IRRIGATION DISTRICTS OR TO HYDROLOGIC UNITS AS SUITABLE FOR ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE KRRNFS. THE CROP ET AND EFFECTIVE PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES WERE PROVIDED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTIMATING SURFACE WATER IRRIGATION DELIVERIES. IRRIGATION DELIVERY AND WETLAND ET ESTIMATES ARE PRIMARY INPUTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL STREAMFLOW ESTIMATES FOR THE KLAMATH RIVER BASIN. | Nevada (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | NEVADA SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION | $488K | — |
| THE TRUCKEE-CARSON IRRIGATION DISTRICT, LOCATED IN WESTERN NEVADA, WILL INSTALL RADIOS AND DATA LOGGERS AT 25 METER SITES WITHIN THE LAHONTAN VALLEY (CARSON DIVISION) OF THE NEWLANDS RECLAMATION PROJECT LOCATED IN WESTERN NEVADA. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE MONITORING OF REAL TIME CONDITIONS WHICH WILL RESULT IMPROVE WATER EFFICIENCY AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE DISTRICT'S CURRENT FIVE-YEAR WATER CONSERVATION PLAN. | Nevada (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TRUCKEE-CARSON IRRIGATION DISTRICT | $72K | — |
| SEASONAL WATER SUPPLY FORECASTS ARE CRITICAL FOR OUR OPERATIONS AS THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR FOR RECLAMATIONS NEWLANDS PROJECTESPECIALLY IN CHANGING CONDITIONS WHERE WE FACE DRASTIC SHIFTS FROM SEVERE DROUGHTS TO EXTREME FLOODS. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, AIRBORNE SNOW OBSERVATORY DATA HAS BEEN INTEGRATED INTO THE CALIFORNIA NEVADA RIVER FORECAST CENTERS SEASON WATER SUPPLY FORECAST AND HAS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED THE FORECAST RESULTS. HOWEVER, THE DIRECT INSERTION OF AIRBORNE SNOW OBSERVATORY DATA INTO THE RIVER FORECAST CENTERS FORECAST HAS NOT BEEN FULLY QUANTIFIED. IN THIS PROJECT, WE PROPOSE COLLECTING ADDITIONAL AIRBORNE SNOW OBSERVATORY DATA AND CONTINUING TO QUANTIFY FORECASTING IMPROVEMENTS BY INTEGRATING HIGH-RESOLUTION SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT ESTIMATES INTO STREAMFLOW FORECASTS. IN ADDITION, WE WILL ALSO BUILD OUT A WEATHER RESEARCH AND FORECASTING HYDROLOGIC MODEL FORECASTING MODEL FOR THE TRUCKEE AND CARSON BASINS AND QUANTIFY THE SEASONAL STREAMFLOW FORECAST IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN THE NRCS AND RIVER FORECAST CENTERS TO THE AIRBORNE SNOW OBSERVATORY INFORMED RIVER FORECAST CENTERS AND AIRBORNE SNOW OBSERVATORY INFORMED WEATHER RESEARCH AND FORECASTING-HYDRO FORECASTS. THIS PROJECT WILL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN AUGUST 2023 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2026 IN THE TRUCKEE AND CARSON WATERSHEDS IN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA. | Nevada (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TRUCKEE-CARSON IRRIGATION DISTRICT | $1.4M | — |
| AS CLIMATE CHANGE CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ARIDIFICATION OF THE SOUTHWEST REGION OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES, IT IS CRITICAL FOR WATER USERS IN THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN DEVELOP PROJECTS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY THROUGH WATER REUSE. THE SOUTHERN NEVADA WATER AUTHORITY (SNWA) IS COMMITTED TO RESOURCE MAXIMIZATION THROUGH MAKING EXISTING WATER USE MORE EFFICIENT. IN SNWAS SERVICE AREA, NEARLY ALL WATER USED INDOORS IS RECYCLED FOR DIRECT OR INDIRECT REUSE. WITH DIRECT REUSE, WASTEWATER IS CAPTURED, TREATED, AND USED FOR NON-POTABLE USES LIKE PARK IRRIGATION. WITH INDIRECT REUSE, WASTEWATER IS RECYCLED THROUGH TREATMENT AND RETURNED TO THE COLORADO RIVER FOR RETURN-FLOW CREDITS, WHICH EXTEND THE STATES COLORADO RIVER ALLOCATION. SNWA IS WORKING TO EXPAND REUSE BY DESIGNING A RECYCLING SYSTEM FOR THE CITY OF BOULDER CITYS (BOULDER CITY) WASTEWATER, WHICH WOULD CONTRIBUTE OVER 800 ACRE-FEET ANNUALLY TO DIRECT OR INDIRECT REUSE, INSTEAD OF LOSS TO EVAPORATION. REQUESTED FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR INITIAL PLANNING AND DESIGN ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING RESEARCH, EVALUATION, COST ESTIMATES, AND DATA COLLECTION, AS WELL AS PROJECT FEASIBILITY WITH INTENT TO MEET TITLE XVI (WTR 11-01) REQUIREMENTS. WASTEWATER RECYCLING PROJECTS ARE PRIORITIZED IN STAKEHOLDER INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE INTEGRATED RESOURCES PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE (IRPAC) 2020 RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT AND IN THE 2023 SNWA WATER RESOURCE PLAN. | Nevada (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | SOUTHERN NEVADA WATER AUTHORITY | $1.0M | — |
| THE TRUCKEE-CARSON IRRIGATION DISTRICT, LOCATED EAST OF RENO, WILL UPGRADE TWO TURBINE RUNNERS AT THE 26 FOOT DROP POWER PLANT FROM FIXED BLADE CAST STEEL TURBINE RUNNERS TO ADJUSTABLE BLADE KAPLAN STYLE STAINLESS STEEL RUNNERS WITH MECHANICAL SHAFTS. THE UPGRADE WILL ALLOW THE PLANT TO START PRODUCING POWER AT A FLOW OF 80 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT 150 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND. THE PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE EXISTING CAPACITY OF THE PLANT FROM 1,000 KILOWATTS TO 1,100 KILOWATTS. THE INCREASED PRODUCTION WILL GENERATE ADDITIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY CREDITS THAT WILL HELP THE STATE OF NEVADA MEET ITS RENEWABLE ENERGY PORTFOLIO STANDARD. | Nevada (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TRUCKEE-CARSON IRRIGATION DISTRICT | $130K | — |
| THE WATER RESOURCES PLANNING MODEL CALSIM 3 IS USED TO SIMULATE STATE WATER PROJECT (SWP) AND CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT (CVP) OPERATIONS AND WATER RESOURCES INFRASTRUCTURE. SURFACE HYDROLOGY INPUTS FOR CALSIM 3 ARE PREPROCESSED FOR THE MODEL USING THE CALSIMHYDRO MODEL. CALSIMHYDRO CURRENTLY RELIES ON SIMPLIFIED METHODOLOGIES TO ESTIMATE CROP EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (ET) AND APPLIED WATER DEMANDS WHICH ARE OUT OF DATE WITH RESPECT TO CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES AND BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE. THE ASCE-EWRI STANDARDIZED PENMAN-MONTEITH (ASCE-PM) REFERENCE ET APPROACH IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR CROP ET ESTIMATES AND PLANNING THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD. ASCE-PM PROVIDES A CONSISTENT APPROACH FOR ESTIMATING REFERENCE ET USING THE BEST AVAILABLE INPUTS AND DATA PROCESSING ALLOWING FOR REPRODUCIBLE ET ESTIMATION IN VARIABLE ENVIRONMENTS AND SCENARIOS (ALLEN ET AL., 2005). ADOPTION OF A DUAL CROP COEFFICIENT APPROACH BASED ON ASCE-PM REFERENCE ET WILL BRING CALSIMHYDRO IN LINE WITH OTHER CROP ET ESTIMATION PRACTICES THROUGHOUT RECLAMATION. FURTHERMORE, APPLICATION OF FINER SCALE GRIDDED CLIMATE AND LAND USE DATASETS WILL ESTABLISH A CONSISTENT FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE UPDATES AND INCORPORATION OF FUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIO MODELING. THIS PROJECT WILL INCLUDE UPDATING AND EXPANDING CALSIM HYDRO TO INCORPORATE ASCE-EWRI STANDARDIZED PENMAN-MONTEITH (ASCE-PM) REFERENCE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AND CROP ET AND APPLIED WATER DEMANDS ESTIMATES USING THE DUAL-CROP COEFFICIENT ET DEMANDS MODEL (ALLEN AND ROBINSON, 2009 HUNTINGTON AND ALLEN, 2010). TASKS INCLUDE REFERENCE ET DATASET EVALUATION, ET DEMANDS MODEL SET-UP, CALIBRATION, AND APPLICATION, AND ASSESSMENT AND COMPARISON OF ET DEMANDS OUTPUT TO EXISTING METHODOLOGIES AND ESTIMATES. | Nevada (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | NEVADA SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION | $111K | — |
