Table 2. Summary of estimates of mean annual recharge for the modeled areas, Yakima River Basin, Washington.

[Conversions and ratios will not be exact due to rounding. Identification No.: Location of area shown on figures 7 and 8. Condition: P, predevelopment; C, current. Irrrigation: the sum of irrigation application rate and canal/lateral losses. Septic: recharge estimate from septic-system drainfields. AET: model-calculated actual evapotranspiration and includes evaporation of intercepted water, snow sublimation, soil evaporation, and plant transpiration. I/P: ratio of irrigation to precipitation—no irrigation for predevelopment conditions. R/T: ratio of recharge to total water input—precipitation for predevelopment conditions and precipitation plus irrigation for current conditions. R/P: ratio of recharge to precipitation. R/AET: ratio of recharge to evapotranspiration. Abbreviations: R, recharge; P, precipitation; I, irrigation; T, total water input; in., inch; ft3/s, cubic foot per second; NA, not applicable]
