Abstract/Description or Keywords | This document provides technical descriptions of the structure, tables, and methodology used to calculate a theoretical water demand within the Irrigation Water Demand Model application. This description doesn’t cover the use of the MS Access forms-based user interface; that’s described in a separate User’s Guide document. Instead, this discussion focuses on the rules and formulae used to calculate the water demand, and on the tables of factors that can be modified to adjust the calculations for different conditions. The original specifications for the modeling methodology were laid out in the Request for Proposal for the application’s development and that document has been included as an appendix since it provides additional information and rationale for the calculations. There have been several changes and additions to the processes outlined in the RFP, however, and those changes are highlighted in the body of this document. agriculture, irrigation, water supply, allocation, water balance |
