(1991- as cited in 903_App_C NativeET, available on line at cdss.state.co.us). This <br />curve was finalized and presented by Cooper (2004) and is summarized in Table 9. No <br />field ET measurements have been made that would enable fitting such a curve <br />specifically for the South Platte system. Hence, the curve for riparian vegetation from the <br />RGDSS effort will be used for SPDSS after scaling for the affect of the different <br />reference ETo in the two systems. <br />The curve for riparian vegetation from the RGDSS is presented in Table 10. This curve <br />was fitted with afour-segment spline curve. With the water table at the surface, this curve <br />defines ETg as equal to the maximum possible rate, defined as ETo -precipitation. With <br />the water table at the extinction depth, 15 feet, ETg = 0. At intermediate depths, ETg is <br />defined by the position on the spline fit according to the values presented in Table 9. <br />Table 9: Points defining the segments used in the RGDSS to describe ETg by dtw. <br /> Point 1 Point 2 Point 3 Point 4 Point 5 <br />X value DTW (ft} 0 2 4 ~ 15 <br />Y Value Fraction of ETolyr (ft} 1.000 0.625 0.219 0.230 0.000 <br />To adapt these points for conditions present in the South Platte River system, ETo, the <br />reference ET for grass, may be multiplied by the decimal fraction representing the <br />fraction of water use (Y) in Table 9. Note that ETo, grass reference ET, should be used <br />for this purpose since it most accurately portrays ET processes for riparian vegetation. A <br />raster of the 11-year average ETo is included in the electronic data accompanying this <br />report to enable this calculation. <br />Representing the spline fits for the four segments as decimal fractions (ultimate row of <br />Table 9) and fitting curves for the segments yielded a set of four curves for estimation of <br />reference ETg for any given depth to water for any pixel (Table 10). <br />Table 10.
