<br />, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />OGij25 <br />!I;. <br /> <br />'J'",k 1.14(a) - Evaluation of Consumptive Use Models <br /> <br />15. Can effective precipitation in excess of Etp be carried over to the next month? <br /> <br />16. I n areas of high water tables, does the model reduce the CIR to account for the portion of <br />Et met by groundwater? <br /> <br />17, Is a procedure included to estimate unit evaporation? <br /> <br />NOTE: We believe that no model will have the capability to estimate the Et of <br />phreatophytes (plants commonly found in wetland areas), but that this capability might be <br />important to include. <br /> <br />List of Software and Hardware Criteria: <br /> <br />L ~ Is the model in the public domain or at minimum cost? <br /> <br />2, How well documented is the model? <br /> <br />3. The quality of the programming code, including modular design, coding practices, and <br />documentation. <br /> <br />4. Computer requirements in terms of software and hardware. <br />5. What is the programming language, (i.e. fortran, basic, C, C++, etc.)? <br />6. How easy will the model integrate with CROSS, estimation of the transferability and the <br />adaptation effort that will be required. <br />7. Porting costs, if the model was developed on a different platform other than the sm. <br />8. Can the model accurately estimate the Et ofphreatophytes (plants commonly found in <br />wetland areas)? <br /> <br />III. Matrix for Evaluating Other Models. <br /> <br />This matrix will focus on models for consumptive use categories beside crop Et. These <br />models will be evaluated on an individual basis. <br /> <br />List of Matrix Criteria: <br /> <br />L What data are required? <br /> <br />2. The availability of required input data. <br /> <br />3. Is the model in the public domain or at minimum cost? <br /> <br />4. How well documented is the model? <br /> <br />5. The quality of the programming code, including modular design, coding practices, and <br />documentation. <br /> <br />6. Is the method transferable for use in the entire CROSS area? <br />7. Computer requirements in terms of software and hardware, <br />R What is the programming language, (i.e. fortran, basic, C, C++, etc.)? <br />9. How easy will the model integrate with CROSS, estimation of the transferability and the <br />adaptation effort that will be required. <br />10.
