  1. Binational Water Management Information System: Rio Grande Basin Carlos Patiño Daene McKinney, David Maidment, Rebecca Teasley SCERP/USGS US-Mexico Border GIS Summit April 10, 2006 El Paso, Texas

  2. Binational Water Management Information System:Rio Grande Basin • Motivation • Water scarcity over 10+ years in the basin necessitates • Develop new planning tools • Determine water availability in the basin • Provide analysis for improved water management • Objectives • Develop a comprehensive, bi-national, basin-scale Geodatabase for the Rio Grande/Bravo basin • Georeferenced (GIS) Relational Database • Organized according to the basin principle • Watersheds delineated and hydrologic parameters calculated • Hydrologic and related data accessible for analysis (including time series) • Available to stakeholders • Mexican and US federal, state, and local organizations • Assist in US-Mexican bi-national cooperation concerning water in the basin

  3. COMISIÓN NACIONAL DEL AGUA Project Collaboration Participants • University of Texas at Austin • Comisión Nacional del Agua Support • Instituto Mexicano de Tecnologia del Agua • Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica • Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez • North American Development bank • Texas Commission on Environmental Quality • IBWC/CILA

  4. Rio Grande Basin 228,000 km2 (Mexico) + 327,000 km2 (US) = 555,000 km2(Total)

  5. Analysis, Modeling, Decision Making Arc Hydro Geodatabase Hydrologic Information System

  6. Watersheds Waterbodys Q Streams t Time Series Monitoring Points ArcHydro What is it? ArcHydro Combine to represent a basin

  7. Digital Elevation Model for U.S. Source: USGS Digital Elevation Model for Mexico. Source: INEGI Regionalization for Large Basins • Rio Grande DEM (30mx30m) • Basin > 500 million cells • Too many cells to process • Break it down • Regions < 50 million cells

  8. 64 128 32 1 16 8 2 4 Burn the Streams Fill the sinks Flow Direction Grid Rasters & Regionalization (cont.) Buffered DEM

  9. Regionalization (cont.) • Delineate each sub-basin • Define streams • Establish connectivity • Assemble into full basin Rio Conchos Sub-basin

  10. Tracing upstream from Amistad Res. Binational Geodatabase

  11. 5% Results and Validation Drainage area comparison in the Rio Grande basin

  12. Monitoring points have time series Time Series in the Geodatabase Over 5,000,000 time series records today

  13. Water Quality Geodatabase • Related to the Water Quantity Geodatabase • Uses binational Water Quality criteria from • TCEQ, SEMARNAT, EPA, CNA, IBWC, USGS

  14. DEMO in GIS

  15. Conclusions • Binational geodatabases created for Rio Grande basin • Both water quantity and quality • Includes more than 5 million time series records • Available to Mexican and U. S. federal, state, and local organizations • Illustrates US-Mexican binational cooperation in the water sector • Bi-national geodatabase being used in simulation models for the basin to • Explore new approaches to improve water management planning in the basin • Comprehensive, outcome-neutral, model-based planning • System-wide analytical capability (database, planning models, and stakeholder-driven scenarios)

  16. ArcHydro Training Courses & Technology Transfer • U.S. • Training Course – TCEQ, IBWC, USGS, UTEP • Consultation – USGS, USEPA, IBWC, TCEQ • Installation – IBWC and UTEP • Mexico • Training Course – CNA, Tecnologico de Monterrey, UACJ, University of Nuevo Leon, IMTA, and CILA (in Spanish) • Consultation CNA, CILA, IMTA, Tecnologico de Monterrey • Installation – CNA, IMTA, Tecnologico de Monterrey • Spain • Training Course – Valencia, Spain (in Spanish) • Distribution • Mexican and U. S. federal, state, and local agencies • IBWC and CILA • Mexican and U. S. NGOs and universities
