Environmental Flow Regime Flows to Keep Rivers Healthy USGS Gage 08019500, Big Sandy Creek near Big Sandy Season Subsistence Base Pulse Winter 20 cfs 73 cfs 1 per season Trigger: 358 cfs Volume: 5,932 af Duration: 10 days Spring 9 cfs 33 cfs 2 per season Trigger: 313 cfs Volume: 5,062 af Duration: 13 days Summer 8 cfs 15 cfs Trigger: 50 cfs Volume: 671 af Duration: 6 days Fall 22 cfs Trigger: 130 cfs Volume: 2,189 af Duration: 9 days cfs = cubic feet per second , af = acre-feet www.tceq.com

TCEQ’s Need Water Withdrawals Not Near Gages

Data Sources TCEQ Rights Points USGS Gages RAPID Model Output

Bringing the Data Together

RAPID Model created by Cédric David Routing Application for Parallel computatIon of Discharge Input: surface and groundwater flows Output: flow and volume of water throughout river network Output in netCDF format http://www.geo.utexas.edu/scientist/david/rapid.htm

Mapping RAPID Output Create a Table from Data http://www.geo.utexas.edu/scientist/david/files/RAPID_in_ArcGIS.pdf

Mapping RAPID Output Choose a Time-Step http://www.geo.utexas.edu/scientist/david/files/RAPID_in_ArcGIS.pdf

Mapping RAPID Output Join Table to Flowline Layer http://www.geo.utexas.edu/scientist/david/files/RAPID_in_ArcGIS.pdf

Mapping RAPID Output Result: Map with Flow Values

Mapping RAPID Output Attribute: Qout = Flow

RAPID Output – Hydrograph Model Flow Over Time

USGS Gage Flow– Hydrograph Measured Flow Over Time HydroExcel: http://his.cuahsi.org/hydroexcel.html

Locations of Hydrographs: Gage 08173900 and Reach 1622713

TCEQ’s Need Water Withdrawals Not Near Gages

Next Steps: Collect Data, Compare, Correlate RAPID hydrographs for all chosen reaches USGS hydrographs for all chosen gages Compare model output with observed data Correlate reaches with gages that reflect flows

Until Real-Time Flow Maps (Example with Historical Data)
