202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Summary: Seymour and Blaine • MAG volumes decrease significantly from 2012 to 2017 for the Blaine Aquifer in Collingsworth and Hall Counties • MAG volumes increase for the Blaine Aquifer in Childress County from 2012 to 2017 • Seymour Aquifer MAG volumes increase for all three counties from 2012 to 2017 8

202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Evaluation of GAM RUN 16-029 MAG Ogallala and Dockum 10
202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 GAM RUN 16-029 MAG • MODFLOW-NWT reduces pumping when saturated thickness reaches 30 feet • How does pumping (and thus availability) change through time? • Where do cutbacks occur? • What is the Ogallala saturated thickness through time? • If and how might this affect availability through planning period and for different WUGs?

202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Total Requested Pumping per Year
202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Pumping Reductions in in HPAS GAM • The MODFLOW-NWT model assumes well production decreases when saturated thickness reaches 30 feet • Cutbacks occur only in the Ogallala in MAG run • Most cutbacks are in western counties of GMA 1

202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Projected Ogallala Saturated Thic ickness • Ogallala saturated thickness declining throughout model run from 2020 to 2070 • Max decline of 270 feet thickness in 2070 • Largest saturated thickness decline effects observed in the western Region A counties

202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Supply All llocations – Ogallala Aquifer
202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Considerations • Constrained geographically? • Decadal decline considerations? • Rate of decline? • MAG limitation • Competition for limited supplies? 32
202 202 Panhandle Regional Water Plan 1 Approach fr from Last Round 1. Modified modeling approach a. Put a well in every gridblock b. Perform “annual” modeling to match DFC locally c. Yielded a “supply” for every gridblock 2. Allocate supply geographically a. Designate IRR and MUN b. Add buffers to account for lateral flow 33
