Project Partners
1). HRWPG 2). USBR - $250k in-kind 3). Hood River County
- $250K OWRD grant
Larger group, subcommittees for last ~ 2 years
-Climate / Hydrology -Groundwater -Storage -Water Resource Modeling
-Herrera / WPN (PM, Needs, Conservation) -Normandau Associates (IFIM) -Mattie Bossler (GW, overall coord.) -USGS (GW tech. support)
Project Objectives 1. Evaluate impact of climate change on streamflows
2. Compile all Basin water demands
3. Compile all potential water conservation measures
4. Evaluate flow targets at key stream reaches
5. Develop understanding of Basin groundwater, lay framework for future
Compile output from above into single comprehensive basin assessment Impacts of climate on system reliability, flow targets Impact of water conservation on streamflow, demands Can groundwater be used to meet demands What, if any, storage is needed

Details – Climate / Hydrology
1). Plan 2). Progress 3). Next Steps
- 14 Climate Models, 2 emission scenarios - Decades of 2020s, 2040s, 2080s - DHSVM - USBR 1-week training at UW (Oct. 1) - USBR added glacier model, calibrating to SNOTEL
- Create naturalized flows - Finish calibrating DHSVM - Pick emission scenarios, BCSD - Run DHSVM with GCM output - Route to Water Resource model points
Details – Groundwater
1). Plan 2). Progress
3). Next Steps
- MODFLOW model of basin - USBR receive assistance from USGS, DOGAMI - Mattie set up GW monitoring network - USGS contract for technical assistance ($20k) - Groundwater Workshop Nov. 27 & 28 USBR, USGS, OWRD, DOGAMI - Updated geologic map by DOGAMI done 12/2012 - GW well database - USBR build from GW workshop - Implement GW monitoring network
Artificial Recharge? Aquifer Storage and Recovery? Focus on building knowledge?
Details – Storage
1). Plan 2). Progress 3). Next Steps
- Evaluate need for (& impact from) storage in WR model - USBR evaluate potential sites
- Lit. review / stakeholder input for potential sites - Identify constraints (e.g. temp, water rights, ownership) - USBR site visit Nov. 7 & 8
- Circulate draft USBR report to HRWPG - Based on USBR report & prelim WR model results determine which, if any, storage sites to evaluate
Details – Water Demands
1). Plan 2). Progress 3). Next Steps
- Herrera / WPN to compile all demands / infrastructure in basin. Will be used to build WR model.
- WPN finishing w/ public available data
- Work with USBR to determine scale for WR model - Herrera to complete Needs Assessment (Dec/Jan)
Details – Water Conservation
1). Plan 2). Progress 3). Next Steps
- Herrera to evaluate potential for irrigation, municipal, industrial conservation. Also look at hydro & sediment.
- Has not started yet.
- Once draft Needs Assessment is done, start on Cons. - Once draft Cons. Assessment is done HRWPG to choose alternatives to use in WR model
Details – IFIM
1). Plan 2). Progress
3). Next Steps
- Evaluate 5 reaches at 3 flow levels
- Reach selection, HSC, transect selection (Sept. 24) - Low flow measurements (Oct. 1) - Medium flow measurements except one (Oct. 28) - High flow measurements except three (Oct. 28)
- Finish last flow measurements (Dec.) - Perform PHABSIM modeling - Submit report to HRC - USBR use results in WR model - USBR also use previous IFIM studies
Details – Water Resource Model
1). Plan 2). Progress 3). Next Steps
- Develop model of basin to evaluate climate, conservation, storage, gw, etc
- Developed schematic of basin to build model from - Discussed in weekly meetings
- Choose software (Riverware, Excel) - Choose spatial/temporal scale - USBR build model - USBR calibrate against historical - HRWPG pick alternatives - USBR evaluate alternatives
Further Information?
Monthly Meetings (1st Wednesday of Month, 2-4pm @ HR County Building)
