Abbreviation in Name file

FMP

Purpose

To dynamically simulate the integrated supply-and-demand components of irrigated agricultural to thoroughly understand the interrelation between surface water and groundwater flow in areas where the water-use by vegetation is an important component of the water budget.

Other Notes

The Farm Process uses unit numbers 1001 through 1009 internally.

If the Farm Process is used in a child model, it must also be used in the parent model.

Item 0 is optional—“#” must be in column 1. Item 0 can be repeated multiple times.

[FLAG_BLOCKS] specify word ‘FLAG_BLOCKS’ only if flags are to be specified by blocks.

Repeat Items 3 combined with the indicated repetitions of Item 4 NPFWL times if NPFWL > 1.

Items 3 and 4 are not read if NPFWL is 0.

If PARNAM is to be a time-varying parameter, the keyword “INSTANCES” and a value for NUMINST must be entered.

If the user specifies the NWT solver option, the additional option for smooth reduction of farm well pumpage is available. This smoothing is identical to what NWT does to the WEL Package (Niswonger and others, 2011) and is initiated by including at the start of each Farm well input data set (Item 4 and 23) with the key word “SPECIFY” as follows:

Keyword

SATTHK

0.1

Pumping reduction is initiated depending on whichever of these two variables is a smaller fraction of model cell thickness for each model cell containing a farm well.

3

[PARNAM PARTYP PARVAL NLST] [INSTANCES NUMINST]

After each Item 3 for which the keyword “INSTANCES” is not entered, read Item 4b and not Item 4a.

After each Item 3 for which the keyword “INSTANCES” is entered, read Item 4a and Item 4b for each instance.

NLST repetitions of Item 4b are required; they are read byREADOP [3]. (SFAC of the utility subroutine [3] applies to QMAXfact). The NLST repetitions of Item 4b follow each repetition of Item 4a when PARNAM is time varying.

If, for ILGR>0 and IGRID>1, if NLST (item 3) is equal to “P,” then no parameter or nonparameter farm-well list entries, respectively, as defined below need to be specified.
