1
Arc Hydro and Modeling Intrinsic Modeling – within a particular application eg Excel, ArcGIS Dynamic Linked Library – tightly coupled package of functions (e.g. LibHydro from HEC) Independent Modeling – separate hydrologic model with data exchange
2
Thematic Layers supporting the Arc Hydro data model (from Michael Zeiler “Modeling Our World” Volume 2) Streams Drainage Areas Hydrography Channels Terrain Surfaces Rainfall Response Digital Orthophotos
3
Data Model Based on Behavior Follow a drop of water from where it falls on the land, to the stream, and all the way to the ocean.
4
Integrating Data Inventory using a Behavioral Model Relationships between objects linked by tracing path of water movement
5
Intrinsic Hydrologic Modeling Dr Tarboton –DEM-based hydrologic modeling USGS –Stream Stats Mean annual flows and pollutant loads Streamstats http://ststdmamrl.er.usgs.gov/streamstats/expert.htm
6
Dynamic Linked Library Can have Fortran subroutines in a DLL Muskingum flow routing
7
Independent Hydrologic Model VB progam reads and writes text files

11
Three basic water problems Too little water (Drought and water supply) Too much water (Flooding) Its dirty (Water Quality) Also have significant GIS effort on environmental issues related to water such as habitat assessment
12
1996 Texas Drought George W. Bush, (then Governor of Texas) asked: “Tell me how much water we have, how much water we’re using and how much water we need” State water officials did not have adequate answers
13
Texas Water Planning 1997 Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 which provided for –State-wide geospatial data development (topography, hydrography, land use, soils and orthophotos) –Water planning in 14 regions rather than state- wide –Assessment of water availability for all water permits
14
Hydrologic Cataloging Units (HUCS) Guadalupe Basin (4 HUC’s) H ydrologic U nit C ode = 12100203 2015 HUC’s cover continental US average area ~ 1 county
15
Water Availability in the Guadalupe Basin Stream Gauge (14) Water Diversion (440) Estimate water availability at each legally permitted water diversion point based on “naturalized” flow at stream gages and the effects of other permitted diversions
16
Digital Elevation Model National Elevation Dataset 30m x 30m cells 11,000,000 cells to cover San Marcos basin 70,000,000 cells to cover Guadalupe basin San Marcos basin

Water Availability Modeling Hydrologic Modeling Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) 50 year series of naturalized monthly flows at stream gages GIS data for each diversion point Letter to each water permit owner specifying % of permitted flow available during a drought Completed for ~ 10,000 water permit holders, 1998-2002
21
Letter to each water permit owner specifying % of permitted flow available during a drought Geospatial data development by Center for Research in Water Resources, Univ. of Texas Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission Hydrologic modeling by engineering consultants Water Availability Assessment (completed for ~ 10,000 permit holders, 1998-2001)

Status of the Software HEC-GeoHMS ver 1.0 available from HEC for ArcView version 3 http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/software_distrib/geo- hms4arcview/geohmsprogram.html http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/software_distrib/geo- hms4arcview/geohmsprogram.html Arc Hydro terrain and watershed functions replace some but not all of HEC-GeoHMS HEC-GeoRAS ver 1.0 http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/software_distrib/geo- ras4arcview/georasprogram.html http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/software_distrib/geo- ras4arcview/georasprogram.html ESRI has developed a beta-version of GeoRAS for ArcGIS
