37. Preliminary Geodatabase for HSPF IDM: Interface Data Model for HSPF Arc Hydro Intermediate To BASINS (demo)

38. GenScn is a open source, public domain program distributed with the USEPA’s BASINS software Primarily designed for postprocessing timeseries data from HSPF models GenScn: Generalized Scenario Management Links Geospatial data (shapefiles) to Timeseries data and allows users to interact with the data

39. Organizing and selecting timeseries that describe geospatial data –Timeseries are organized around 3 key attributes: Location (can be linked to geospatial data) Scenario (can be used for scenario management) Constituent (what the timeseries describes) (demo)

40. Animating Timeseries linked to geospatial data

41. Arc Hydro and GenScn –CRWR has worked on reading Arc Hydro timeseries into GenScn’s representation to make it available to GenScn’s tools –When completed, will also facilitate the transfer of timeseries from Arc Hydro format to.wdm, and vice versa –.wdm is the time series format used by EPA Basins systems
