Interaction Between Rivers and Aquifer Michael Barber Director, State of Washington Water Research Center Washington State University May 8, 2007 Spokane Valley – Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer Study

Surface/Groundwater Interaction Options Dingman, S. Lawrence Physical Hydrology 2nd Edition.

Quantifying Aquifer/River Interaction This concepts explains why the total volume of the SVRP is not as important as the active portion –the part above the river bottom To determine gaining, losing and neutral reaches of surface/groundwater exchanges, additional Seepage Runs were conducted.

QDQD QCQC QBQB QAQA Losing reach Q B < Q A Transitional reach Q C ≈ Q B Gaining reach Q D > Q C river aquifer Nearly simultaneous measurement of river discharge (Q) at different locations (A, B, C, D) to determine streamflow gains and losses between sites. ABCD What are Seepage Runs?

Seepage Runs In addition to previous data, 2 seepage runs were conducted as part of this project –August 30, 2005 –August 8, 2006 The August 30 th run was the most comprehensive

Spokane at Dartford near Dartford near Post Falls near Otis Orchards Monthly average gains and losses (next 3 slides)

Monthly average streamflow gain (+) or loss (-) Spokane River: near Post Falls – near Otis Orchards This stream segment is: always losing loss is typically greater during winter and spring than summer and fall

Monthly average streamflow gain (+) or loss (-) Spokane River: near Post Falls – Spokane This stream segment typically is: gaining during period of lower streamflow (summer and fall) and losing during periods of higher streamflow (winter and spring)

Monthly average streamflow gain (+) or loss (-) Little Spokane River: at Dartford – near Dartford This stream segment is: always gaining gain is relatively constant over time

Surface/Groundwater in MODFLOW Streamflow Routing Package –Segment to segment flow is determined –Spokane River River Package –Define stage, bottom elevation, & conductance –Little Spokane River

Controlling Parameters Where: K = Hydraulic conductivity of bed material [ft/day] W = River width [ft] L = Length of river segment [ft] m = Thickness of bed deposits [ft] h r = Elevation of river surface [ft] h a = Groundwater elevation in cell adjacent to river [ft]
