Recordings from the annual meeting:
1. Surface water diversions and irrigated acres - Supporting data are in rrcs_Overlap_Groups_2015_final.zip (April 20, 2017).
2. Groundwater pumping and irrigated acreage - Groundwater data required by the Settlement is included in the above file.
3.
Climate information - KSNE2015_precip_temp_data.zip – Daily
climate data used to calculate Crop Irrigation Requirements. Data source:
Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) data. (Apr 6, 2016)
4. Crop Irrigation Requirements: Summary by county and comparison
with previous years.
· CIR summary by county: KSCIR_summary_For2015.xlsx (Apr 6, 2016)
· 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

· Kansas%20Water%20Appropriation%20Regs%20Adopted%20in%202015.pdf (Apr 6, 2016)
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 gwprog2015prelim.zip
and swprog2015prelim.zip. Batch files
are used to run the programs.
Program changes:
Program pumprechv10 and swrechv3 were both modified slightly in order to refer to static files in folder \RRCA\EC\static\.
A recurring problem noted by Willem in the past is that for a relatively small number of points of diversion, their overlap groups groups are not associated with authorized place of use. This problem was explained in 2014 as a result of changes to the water rights database that occurred between the time whe overlap groups were defined, which is always near the end of the calendar year of water use (circa December 19) and the time when the database is queried in the following year (April 1 and 5 this year for preliminary data).
The program pumprechv10 was modified to build 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, last 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. The year 2015 is given as a
command line argument. The Almena District reported no delivered water for
2015, so that the Almena factor for 2015, which is the groundwater-exclusive
irrigation area as a fraction of total irrigated area in the Almena District,
is equal to 1.
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.
