Major Progress

• PEST Calibration – 16 runs1) Power functions for recharge-precipitation2) Five-year water level differences 3) Weighting factor change for streamflow

P0 is threshold precipitation after which groundwater recharge occurs. For each recharge zone, P0, a and b are calibrated.

Page 4: Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District #3 Model Kansas Water Office Contract

PEST Runs D-J• D: Change linear P-R segments to power functions.

Other settings same as Run B in TAC020810. • E: Change water-level difference targets from 1 year

to 5-year intervals. Other settings same as D.

Different runs derived from E -• F: Fix P-R power functions, calibrate PST+ K and Sy.• G: Fix P-R power functions and Sy, calibrate K.• H: Fix P-R power functions and K, calibrate Sy.• I: Use optimal values from H and recalibrate all

parameters. • J: Use optimal values from I and calibrate all

parameters, but lower the maximum limit for Sy (the calibrated Sy for sands and gravels from I was 39%).

Page 5: Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District #3 Model Kansas Water Office Contract

PEST Runs K-S• K: Double the weighting factor for streamflow targets. Other

setting same as J.• L: Use log for K. Other settings same as J. • M: Decrease the weighting factor for streamflow targets by

half. Use log for K.• N: Increase precipitation recharge for zone 3. Calibrated

recharge for zone 3 too small.• O: Change precipitation recharge parameter settings for zone

2. Calibrated recharge for zone 2 not physically reasonable. • P: Further modify recharge parameter settings. Calibrated

recharge for zone 2 from O still not physically reasonable.• Q: Further modify recharge parameter and specific yield

settings. Precipitation recharge curve for zone 2 not reasonable. The Sy values considered a little too high after KGS internal team discussion.

• R and S: Similar to Q, fix K and Sy and further improve recharge parameters.

Next Major Steps

• A few more PEST runs to check if the calibrated model can be further improved.

• Scenario simulation under different climatic and water use conditions.
