Monthly Analysis -Lands Further from Live Stream <br />Figure 3 shows the monthly accretions to the river, as a percent of recharge, for lands further <br />from a live stream. As shown, a small percent of the water is still returning to the river 24 <br />months after it has been applied. Note that the month with the largest percent of accretions is <br />shifted to the second month when lands are further from the river. Table 4 shows the procedure <br />for including surface water returns with the ground water accretions. Note that a practical <br />decision was made to end the return flow pattern when less than 0.5 percent of applied water is <br />returning. The remaining water was distributed to previous months based on proration, whereby <br />early months with more return flows received more of the distributed water. <br />Figure 3 also shows the total returns to the river, from both surface water and ground water. As <br />shown, the monthly return flow patterns for lands close to the stream return 100 percent of non- <br />consumed water via surface returns or ground water recharge within twelve (12) months of <br />diversion. The values were formatted and included in the monthly delay pattern file CRDSS.dIy. <br />Figure 3 <br />Monthly Ground Water and Total Returns as Percent of Recharge <br />Lands Further from Live Stream <br />~o <br />60 <br />50 <br />d <br />U <br />~ 40 <br />A. <br />~, 30 <br />d <br />Chi <br />20 <br />10 <br />1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 <br />Month (Month 1=month of recharge) <br />f Ground Water Returns ~ Total Returns <br />Page7of12 <br />
