      <abstract>This data set contains mean annual recharge due to infiltration of precipitation, in inches (x 1000), within the upper Umatilla River Basin, Oregon, for calendar years 1981 - 2010. Recharge due to infiltration of precipitation is estimated using a regression method developed by Bauer and Vaccaro (1990) that relates annual recharge to annual precipitation. Gridded mean annual precipitation for years 1981 - 2010 was provided by the Oregon State University PRISM Climate Group.

        <procdesc>"Clipped" the precipitation data for the contiguous United States to the study area (including a 10 km buffer around the study area). 

Using ArcGIS 'Extract by Mask' tool:

Input raster: PRISM_ppt_30yr_normal_800mM2_annual_asc.asc (800m precipitation data downloaded from http://prism.oregonstate.edu/normals/

Input raster or feature mask data: GroundwaterStudyAreaBuffer10k.shp

Output raster: ppt_extract (mean annual 1981-2010 precipitation, in mm, for the buffered study area)</procdesc>
        <procdate>20180206</procdate>
      </procstep>
      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Converted the precipitation input for the buffered study area from millimeters to inches

Using ArcGIS 'Raster Calculator' tool:

Input data: ppt_extr

Output data: ppt_extr_in (mean annual 1981-2010 precipitation, in inches, for the buffered study area)

Raster Calculator statement: ppt_extr_in = "ppt_extr"/25.4</procdesc>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Using the clipped precipitation grid, in inches, calculated mean annual recharge for each grid cell using the regression method of Bauer and Vaccaro (1990)

Using ArcGIS 'Raster Calculator' tool:

Input data: ppt_extr_in

Output data: bv_81_10 (mean annual 1981-2010 recharge from precipitation, in inches, for the buffered study area)

Raster Calculator statement: 

bv_81_10 = (("PPT_extr_in" * "PPT_extr_in") * 0.00865) + ("PPT_extr_in" * 0.1416) - 1.28</procdesc>
        <procdate>20180206</procdate>
      </procstep>
      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Reprojected the mean annual recharge from precipitation grid from its original geographic coordinate system (GCS_North_American_1983) to a projected coordinate system (NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_11N).

NOTE: At this time, the cell size of the grid was changed from 800 meter to 10 meter.

Using ArcGIS 'Project Raster' tool:

Input raster: bv_81_10

Output raster: bv_81_10_proj (mean annual 1981-2010 recharge from precipitation, in inches, for the buffered study area, projected to NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_11N)

Resampling technique: Nearest

Output cell size, x and y: 10 meters</procdesc>
        <procdate>20180206</procdate>
      </procstep>
      <procstep>
        <procdesc>NOTE: Subsequent process steps for these data detail conversion to GeoTIFF for purposes of data archival. 

Mean annual recharge grid was multiplied by 1,000 to prepare the data to be converted from floating point to integer number type. The data were multiplied by 1,000 so that when the data are integerized, there is no loss of precision through truncation.

Using ArcGIS 'Raster Calculator' tool:

Input data: bv_81_10_proj

Output data: bv_81_10_projx (Mean annual 1981-2010 recharge from precipitation, in inches, for the study area and in the study projection, multiplied by 1000) 

Raster Calculator statement:

bv_81_10_projx = bv_81_10_proj * 1000</procdesc>
        <procdate>20180216</procdate>
      </procstep>
      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Mean annual recharge grid (x1000) was integerized to create a value attribute table.

Using ArcGIS 'Int' tool:

Input raster: bv_81_10projx

Output raster: bv_81_10projxi (integerized version of bv_81_10projx)</procdesc>
        <procdate>20180216</procdate>
      </procstep>
      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Exported bv_81_10projxi as TIFF

Output data: bv_81_10projxi1.tif

NOTE: To use these data, convert this grid first to floating point, then divide by 1,000 to obtain actual values of recharge. Data should be assumed accurate, at most, to the hundredth of an inch.</procdesc>
