Kansas annual reporting

1. Surface water diversions and irrigated acres - The source data is included in RRCS_Overlap_Groups_2011_prelim.zip (listed under “model input files”).

2. Groundwater pumping and irrigated acreage - Groundwater data required by the Settlement is included in the Excel file below entitled  RRCS_Overlap_Groups_2008Final.xls except:

• ReportedCropsByCountyFor2011.xls - County crop distribution summary (Apr 13, 2012)

3. Climate information - KSNE2011_precip_temp_data.xls – Daily climate data used to calculate Crop Irrigation Requirements; should be publicly available. See documentation sheet for description of filling used for missing data, which fall almost exclusively outside the irrigation season. (Apr 13, 2012)

4. Crop Irrigation Requirements: KSCIR_update2011_COMPARE.xls (Apr 13, 2012)

5.  Streamflow records from State-Maintained Gaging Records - Not applicable to Kansas 

6.  Platte River Reservoirs - Not applicable to KS

7. Water Administration Notification - Not applicable to KS

8. Moratorium

· 2011_KS_Wells_Moratorium.xls (Apr 12, 2012)

· Kansas Water Appropriation Regs Adopted in 2011.pdf (Apr 12, 2012)

9. Non-Federal Reservoirs - There were no new dams constructed in KS within the RRC basin above Hardy. Thus the inventory is the same we provided last year.

• KSNonFedDamsFor2011.xls: Updated inventory of non-federal dams in Kansas; also documents updates from previous versions. (Apr 12, 2012)
• KSNonFedDam_EVAP_For2011.xls: Tabulation of evaporation from non-federal reservoirs by sub-basin for 2010. (Apr 12, 2012)

Kansas RRCA groundwater model input files

Preliminary data (posted April 13, 2012)

· GWFor2011Prelim.zip - Groundwater data files (*.rcg, *.pmp, 2011.mi, 2011.agw) (April 13, 2012)

· SWFor2011Prelim.zip - Surface water recharge files for the model (*.rcg, 2011.asw) (April 13, 2012)

· RRCS_Overlap_Groups_2011_prelim.zip - supporting data for development of the files above (April 13, 2012)

· gwprog2011prelim.ZIP - Program and data files to produce the groundwater files for 2011. Batch file operation: pumprech 2011

· swprog2011prelim.ZIP - Program and data files to produce the surface water recharge files for 2011. Batch file operation: swrech 2011

· staticdata2010.zip - Static data files used by the GW and SW programs; unchanged since 2010 data exchange (April 12, 2011)

The staticdata2010.zip file includes three files (02.ibound, 40coords.dat and cty.flg) from commonprogs2004.zip that has been posted in previous years, plus four additional files (swrech.par, pumprech.par, monthlyfactorsbycounty.txt and Almenapdivs.txt), which are read by updated programs in gwprog2011prelim.zip and swprog2011prelim.zip. Batch files are used to run the programs.

Programs to produce groundwater data files (pumprechv8) and surface water data files (swrechv3) remain unchanged from the 2010 final data exchange. The groundwater batch file pumprech, to run pumprechv8, was simplified from 2010 by requiring only the year to be specified as an argument; previously, a second argument was specified that has been written into the batch file. This is the Almena factor for 2011 ( 0.74337), the groundwater-exclusive irrigation area as a fraction of total irrigated area in the Almena District. Program changes in 2010 eliminated the need to create separate copies of the programs and static data files for each year’s data exchanges; and, for pumprechv8, to write distances between points of diversion and place of use to a diagnostic output file (AuthacresYYYY.out).

Final data (posted September 20, 2012):

· GWFor2011Final.zip - Groundwater data files (*.rcg, *.pmp, 2011.mi, 2011.agw)

· SWFor2011Final.zip - Surface water recharge files for the model (*.rcg, 2011.asw)

· RRCS_Overlap_Groups_2011_Final.zip - supporting data for development of the files above

· gwprog2011Final.zip - Program and data files to produce the groundwater files for 2011. Batch file operation: pumprech 2011

· swprog2011Final.zip - Program and data files to produce the surface water recharge files for 2011. Batch file operation: swrech 2011

Batch files and programs used to produce groundwater data files (pumprechv8) and surface water data files (swrechv3) remain unchanged from the April 15, 2011 preliminary data exchange.
