Data for the April 15, 2015 exchange were posted April 15, 2015; final groundwater model data were posted June 30, 2015, with corrections posted July 2015 and April 2017 as indicated below. Updates in April 2017 correct mainstem CBCU.
Recordings from the annual meeting:
1. Surface water diversions and irrigated acres - Source data are in rrcs_Overlap_Groups_2014.zip (final version, Apr 20, 2017).
2. Groundwater pumping and irrigated acreage - Groundwater data required by the Settlement is included in the above file.
3.
Climate information - KSNE2014_precip_temp_data.zip – Daily
climate data used to calculate Crop Irrigation Requirements. Data source:

4. Crop Irrigation Requirements: Summary by county and comparison
with previous years.
· CIR summary by county: KSCIR_summary_For2014.xlsx (Apr 15, 2015)
· CIR comparison with previous years: in progress
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
· 2014_KS_Wells_Moratorium.xls (Apr 15, 2015)
· Kansas Water Appropriation Regs Adopted in 2014.pdf (Apr 15, 2015)
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.

staticdata2010.zip - Static data files used by
the GW and SW programs; unchanged since 2010 data exchange.
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 gwprog2014prelim.zip
and swprog2014prelim.zip. Batch files
are used to run the programs.
Program changes:
A problem with the final groundwater pumping data was identified such that for a relatively small number of points of diversion, their overlap groups groups are not associated with authorized place of use. This is a problem that may be due to water use reporting database errors, which we will try to identify and correct for next year’s data exchange. The consequence is that roughly 1,400 of 429,000 irrigated acres and 160 of 54,000 acre-feet of return flow are not included in the model input, which are minor discrepancies.
The batch file pumprech.bat and program pumprechv10 introduce a workaround for the above problem by first identifying and building a list of such wells, and then placing the missing irrigated area and return flow in the cells corresponding to the associated points of diversion. The program pumprechv10 is a modified version of pumprechv9, which had been used to produce the pumping data for the April 15, 2015 preliminary data exchange.
The batch file and program previously used to produce groundwater data files (pumprechv9) was modified to expand a diagnostics output file but otherwise remains unchanged. The batch file and program used to produce surface water data files (swrechv3) remain unchanged from the April 15, 2011 preliminary data exchange.
The
program used to produce groundwater data files, pumprechv9, is a modified
version of pumprechv8 that was used for the 2013 final data exchange. It was
modified only to expand the diagnostics output file AuthacresYYYY.out
to show total groundwater irrigated area in each cell as authorized irrigation
tracts are accumulated, but otherwise has no effect on output. The groundwater batch file pumprech now runs pumprechv10. As before, the year 2014 is
given as a command line argument. The Almena factor for 2014, the
groundwater-exclusive irrigation area as a fraction of total irrigated area in
the Almena District, is 0.59894277 (updated June 30, 2015).
Program changes in
2010 eliminated the
need to create separate copies of the programs and static data files for each
year’s data exchanges. The program pumprechv8 was revised in 2011 to calculate
distances between points of diversion and places of use, and write the
distances to AuthacresYYYY.out, and to a summary of
reported irrigated area by grid cell, file acresgridYYYY.dat.
