12. FEMA Map Modernization Program FEMA is redoing floodplain maps for whole nation over next 5 years, county by county Spend $1.5 billion on this Store data and models in server farm in Cary, NC for whole country How to relate all this to Arc Hydro? How to quantify the error in floodplain boundaries? Joint project with Dr Hodges

14. Water Quality

15. Location of Impaired Waters Waters are “impaired” when their quality is inadequate for “designated uses”, e.g. fishing and swimming

16. Nueces Bay Zinc in Oyster Tissue TMDL Project Imane Mrini Center for Research in Water Resources The University of Texas at Austin

17. Mean = 37µg/L Zinc loads to Nueces Bay Outflow Atmospheric deposition W at = 18.67 kg/d NPS watershed loadings Q wsh = 1.83 m 3 /s W wsh = 3.69 kg/d Lake Corpus Christi load Q NR = 2.47 m 3 /s W NR = 4.27 kg/d Nueces Bay Permitted discharges Q pd = 16.55 m 3 /s W pd = 0.71 kg/d CP&L plant W CP&L = 52.75 kg/d Inner Harbor Average Conc. (1982-2001) = 37µg/L Q = flow of water W = load of zinc

18. Bacterial TMDL for Copano Bay DNA studies to “type” the sources of bacteria in water have been done (animals,humans, birds, etc) What is the loading of bacteria to the bay from these sources? How can loading be reduced to make bacterial concentrations acceptable? TMDL = Total Maximum Daily Load Joint project with Dr Kirisits

21. Modeling System Rainfall Data: Rain gages Nexrad Calibration Data: Flows Water Quality Geospatial Data: City, County SARA, other Floodplain Management Integrated Regional Water Resources planning Capital Improvement Planning Flood Forecasting Water quality planning San Antonio Regional Watershed Modeling System “Bring the models together”

22. Nexrad Map to Flood Map in Arc 9 Model Builder FLO ODP LAIN MAP Flood map as output Model for flood flow Model for flood depth HMS Nexrad rainfall map as input

23. Interface Data Model for HSPF Previous work has focused on flooding with HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS models Moving now to integrate water quality modeling HSPF – Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran Widely used simulation model for water quality modeling How to connect this to GIS requires detailed design of the interface and developing computer tools to achieve that integration.
