Daily Analysis -Lands Close to Live Stream <br />The State's Glover model was run with the parameters selected above using a "stress" of one day <br />of recharge. The results of this analyses are shown in Figure 5 for lands irrigated close to a live <br />stream. Although the pattern extends for 245 days, only the first 90 days are shown here so the <br />graph is easier to read. As with the monthly returns, surface water returns were estimated to be <br />50 percent of total returns. For the daily pattern, surface water is estimated to return to the river <br />the day after application. Figure 5 also shows the total return flow percents. These values were <br />formatted and included in the CRDSS daily delay pattern file (*.dld) as pattern "1". This file is <br />included as Exhibit B. <br />Figure 5 <br />Daily Ground Water and Total Returns as Percent of Recharge <br />Lands Closer to Live Stream <br />o.~ <br />0.6 <br />0.5 <br />c <br />s`. 0.4 <br />C. <br />c <br />~ 0.3 <br />0.2 <br />0.1 <br />31 61 <br />Days (pay 1=Day of Recharge) <br />Ground Water Returns -Total Returns <br />The Daily Yampa Memo describes a procedure used to compare a return flow pattern based on <br />one month of recharge to a return flow pattern based on one day of recharge. As described, a <br />table was developed to compare daily and monthly return flow patterns by applying the daily <br />pattern to a unit recharge for thirty days. This procedure was followed to compare the monthly <br />and daily return flow delay patterns developed in this task for lands close to a live stream. Table <br />5 presents the results of the comparison. As noted in the Daily Yampa Memo, the State's model <br />develops monthly patterns based on 365 days/12 months, therefore the sum of daily returns <br />shown in Table 5 is based on 30.4 days in each month. <br />Page9of12 <br />
