Flow in cfs

A named list containing datasets from the 2008-2009 and 2018-2019 Calsim II BiOp runs for use with the CVPIA SIT Salmon Population Model to develop habitat inputs. The named list components are:

  • biop_2008_2009: flow in cubic feet per second within watersheds from the 2008-2009 Calsim II BiOp run.

  • biop_itp_2018_2019: flow in cubic feet per second within watersheds from the 2018-2019 Calsim II BiOp run.

Details

The flow is represented using 'FLOW-CHANNEL' and 'FLOW-DELIVERY' nodes from CALSIM II. The nodes and calculation for each watershed are outlined above.

The Sutter and Yolo Bypasses' flows are stored in a separate dataset bypass_flows to enable the habitat segmentation in the bypasses according to weir locations.

The Lower-mid Sacramento River has two nodes, one above Fremont Weir (C134) and one below (C160). When calculating habitat for the Lower-Mid Sacramento river, calculate the habitat at each flow node and sum them proportion to the length of stream above and below the weir: $$35.6/58 * (habitat at C134) + 22.4/58 * (habitat at C160)$$

*Because there are no modeled flows at Bear Creek, flows at Paynes Creek are used

**Mokelumne River flow is from a separate model provided by EBMUD.
