StateDMI / Command / ReadIrrigationPracticeTSFromHydroBase


Overview

This command is being phased out as of StateDMI 5.x. Instead, use the ReadParcelsFromHydroBase and ReadIrrigationPracticeTSFromParcels commands. This command can still be used, in particular for datasets without wells. However, the new parcel-processing commands are faster, more flexible, and more transparent.

The ReadIrrigationPracticeTSFromHydroBase command (for StateCU) reads parcel acreage data from HydroBase and sets the irrigation practice acreage time series (yearly) information for CU locations. Only years with data in HydroBase are processed. Values for other years must be estimated using other commands (see the FillIrrigationPracticeTSInterpolate and FillIrrigationPracticeTSRepeat commands). This command should be executed before other commands that estimate or set irrigation practice acreage time series.

The following figure illustrates possible water supply for parcels.

Parcel Supply Diagram

Example Supply for Parcels (see also the full-size image)

In this example, two ditches (D1 and D2, each represented with different hatching) provide surface water supply to the indicated parcels. In some cases, only one ditch provides supply. Between the ditches, both supply water to shared parcels. Wells can supplement surface water supply (parcels above the river) or can be the sole supplier of water (lower right). Wells do not need to be physically located on a parcel to provide supply to the parcel. For StateCU, well-only lands are identified by CU locations that are defined by:

  • a collection (aggregate/system) of wells specified by WDIDs or well permit receipts - this approach is being phased in throughout CDSS
  • a collection (aggregate/system) of parcels - this older approach is currrently only used in the Rio Grande

For StateMod, well-only lands are well stations that do not have a related diversion station. In both cases, lands irrigated by surface water are identified with ditch identifiers and parcels are associated with the ditches in HydroBase. Typically, well-only lands are grouped and multiple wells provide supply to the collection of parcels. Processing logic is different for ditch and well-only lands only in how the list of parcels is obtained.

The steps used to process irrigation practice time series are described below. Note that “CU location” refers to the StateCU model identifier (which can be a collection of wells) and “well” refers to a hole in the ground that has physical characteristics, water rights, and/or well permits. Loop through each CU location that matches the ID pattern and perform the following: For each year being processed (specified by the Year parameter or by default all available data in HydroBase), perform the following:

  1. Initialize all irrigation practice acreage time series to missing values. Consequently, if no data are found in a year, an “observation” of missing acreage will occur. Any previous data are reset.
  2. Get the list of parcels associated with the location (note that in a given year there may be zero or more parcels associated with a location):
    1. If the location is a groundwater only location, get the list of parcels from the aggregate/system definitions. The HydroBase well and parcel relationships are read, in which case well WDID or receipt is used. This uses the HydroBase vw_CDSS_WellsWellToParcel view.
    2. If the location is a ditch that is supplemented by groundwater (assumed as possible because the StateCU CU Location data does not indicate whether a location has groundwater supply and all may – one purpose of the IPY file is to indicate groundwater supply over time):
      1. If the ditch is explicit (no aggregate/system information has been provided for the location), get the list of parcels associated with the single ditch.
      2. If the ditch is an aggregate/system, get the list of parcels associated with each part of the aggregate/system and form one list of parcels.
  3. Read the parcel data using the parcel identifiers.
    1. Query HydroBase to get the parcel data, using the year, division, and parcel identifier. This uses the HydroBase vw_CDSS_ParcelUseTS view.
    2. Acreage not in HydroBase is appended to the parcel list. This acreage is supplied by SetIrrigationPracticeTS and SetIrrigationPracticeTSFromList commands with the ProcessWhen=WithParcels parameter. These commands must be specified before the ReadIrrigationPracticeTSFromHydroBase command. For the sake of processing, user-supplied acreage is treated as one parcel for the specified year.
  4. Process the parcels for the location:
    1. If the parcel was associated with a ditch, the parcel area is multiplied by the ditch service area fraction irrigated value (actually called percent_irrig in HydroBase even though 0.0 to 1.0), reflecting the fact that only a portion of the parcel area is associated with the location. If well-only irrigation, the fraction irrigated is set to 1.0.
    2. The appropriate irrigation practice acreage time series are incremented. Total acreage is always incremented. For IPY acreage purposes, SPRINKLER and DRIP irrigation methods are treated as SPRINKLER (high efficiency) and all other irrigation methods as FLOOD (low efficiency). A parcel is considered to have groundwater supply if there is at least one well associated with the parcel for the specific year (use supplied data must specify whether the supply is ground or surface water). The combination of irrigation method and whether ground/surface supply indicates the acreage time series that are incremented. If a location does not have groundwater supply, it has surface supply only and the surface water acreage values are incremented.
    3. The total groundwater acres are set to the sum of the acres for SPRINKLER and FLOOD. The total surface water acres are set to the sum of the acres for SPRINKLER and FLOOD.

Command Parameters

Parameter             Description Default          
ID

A single CU location identifier to match or a pattern using wildcards (e.g., 20*). None – must be specified.
Div
required
A water division to use for parcel data, needed to determine relationships between diversion stations/parcels/wells and for well aggregate/systems. None – must be specified.
Year A calendar year to use for parcel data, needed to determine relationships between diversion stations/parcels/wells and for well aggregate/systems. Separate multiple years by commas. All years in HydroBase will be processed.
