Delta Channel Depletion (DCD v1.0) is an extension of Delta Evapotranspiration of Applied Water (DETAWv2.0). Based on the estimation of Delta ground surface water balance by DETAW v2.0, DCD v1.0 simulates the daily channel depletions, including diversions, drainages and seepages, in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and distributes them on the Delta Simulation Model 2(DSM2) nodes. The package includes the model code, model inputs, technical reports, preliminary user’s manual, and necessary software to support the model.
This DCD output file includes the diversions, drainages and seepages on the DSM2 nodes from WY1922 through WY2016. It can be directly used as the Delta channel depletion inputs for DSM2 model.
