Presentation Outline Purpose of Project Project Site Instrumentation Sensor Setup and Data Transmission Data Management ODM Database Website SWMM Model Calibration
Purpose of Project Develop data management plan for storm drain sensors to be installed in Red Butte Creek. iUtah project being headed by Dasch Houdeshel Steps: Sensor setup & automation of data transmission Data management SWMM model calibration
Project Site Red Butte Creek University of Utah Campus Four Stormwater Outfalls One sensor installed in each Collect data for: Discharge Velocity Level Initial setup conducted at the University of Utah Hydraulics Lab
Instrumentation Sensor Setup Sensor Hardware and Calibration Hydraulics Lab flume for setup and calibration Determine minimum water level for accurate reading 0.05 feet
Instrumentation Sensor Setup Flowlink Software Sites (4) Connor Road Biology Growth Site Dentistry Fort Douglas Data Database Graphs for variables Output csv file
Instrumentation Sensor Setup Data Collection Schedule Wireless setup and scheduling Verify wireless data communication Create sensor “wake-up” schedule Data download to base computer Upload to RBC ODM Archive data files Run schedule for an extended time period in flume Verify schedule

SWMM Model Calibration iUtah Project – Use Collected Data to Calibration SWMM model Created a simplified model to illustrate process
SWMM Model Calibration Specific SWMM element (node, link, or subcatchment) SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), LocalDateTime, 101) AS Day, CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), LocalDateTime, 108) AS Time, DataValue AS Value From Sites INNER JOIN DataValues ON Sites.SiteID = DataValues.SiteID INNER JOIN Variables ON DataValues.VariableID = Variables.VariableID INNER JOIN Units ON Variables.VariableUnitsID = Units.UnitsID Where Sites.SiteID = “SiteID” AND Units.UnitsID = 35 ORDER BY Day, Time ASC
