  2. Discussion Outline • Case study: Fort McCoy and Low Impact Development L-THIA. Chris Urban • Case study: Desktop Arcview LTHIA in Korea, leads to desktop model for WI DNR. Larry Theller • L-THIA IDEM case study leads into Corps project with MSU – major upgrades to LTHIA OWLs. Larry Theller • LDC upgrades, LOADEST, etc . Youn Shik Park • WQX New Project ( LDC plugs in to WQX and is TMDL friendly, 6 FIFRA data sets uploaded. Larry Theller • Driftwatch update. Bernie Engel

  3. Long Term Hydrologic Impact Model • As a quick and easy-to-use approach, L-THIA's results can be used to generate community awareness of potential long-term problems and to support planning aimed at minimizing disturbance of critical areas. • L-THIA is an ideal tool to assist in the evaluation of potential effects of planned or zoned land use change . • It can identify the best location of a particular land use so as to have minimum impact on a community's natural environment.

  4. Fort McCoy Case Study

  5. This study was particularly interested in the impact of N and P on algae growth. • Algae has been a problem occurrence on an annual average of 45 days in recent years (2005 – 2009.) The accumulation of N and P occurs through both dry and rainy seasons continuously. • To support management of the lake (created by a dam in 1980,) discharge and water quality data were collected from five sites including two streams and three sites close to the lake. • To estimate load under various conditions the research included simulation using the models Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment (L-THIA) and Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT).

  6. Results • For the analysis, Curve Number (CN) values were calculated based on growing season and dormant season and were used for the L-THIA simulation. • The L-THIA model was calibrated against observed data and produced a better fit than the SWAT model in the calibration. • The L-THIA results are used in the decision support process. Model results were produced to aid in the management of the watershed to control runoff. • Eutrophication is the major problem in this lake, and management measures are designed to control the addition of N and P in to the lake.

  7. Desktop L-THIA Calculator

  8. Model may be populated from the online version.

  9. Since 2002, there have been at least 17 watershed management plans (funded by IDEM's 319 or 205(j) program, or submitted to IDEM for review to be eligible for implementation funding) that have used L-THIA. Most commonly, L-THIA was used to estimate existing pollutant loads in a watershed. Sometimes L-THIA was used when there was no monitoring data available, and sometimes it was used to provide a comparison with loads calculated from monitoring data. Watershed Management Case Study

  10. Feedback from Watershed Managers has guided improvements to the Online version of L-THIA

  11. Floating, semi-transparent toolbars, collapsible menus, open architecture for partners, improved editing perfrormance. New Area of Interest tool : Polygon “Select by Polygon” to use a single HUC 12 outline will work for off-site users, such as Michigan State.

  12. Tool will now allow use of a polygon as an area of analysis. This will improve ability to model zoning and LID BMP areas.

  13. -Display of HIT target layers -EPA Waters layers -GIS layers

  14. Results remain in current window, no more spawning of multiple pages.

  15. Load Duration Tool with LOADEST https://engineering.purdue.edu/~ldc/new

  16. To develop only FDC To develop FDCand LDC, To run “LOADEST”

  17. FDC only FDC and LDC with LOADEST execution : by user’s flow and WQ data : by USGS flow data and user’s WQ data : by USGS flow data and user’s WQ data with drainage ratio : by retrieving both data through the web

  18. Flowdata - user’s data - USGS flow data Develop FDC and LDC Execute LOADESTon background mode WQdata - user’s data - USGS WQ data Develop TMDLusing LOADEST result FuturePlan Estimate required reduction to meet goal

  19. a b Select State (a). (Indiana and Wisconsin are available, so far.) Three ways to find USGS gauging station :Type address or ZIP (b),Through Google Maps interface (c),Type Station Number (d). c d

  20. The tool gives.. .. Information of pre-selected 24 WQ data (a), .. Information on Flow data (b), .. Raw data file of flow and WQ data (c). a Select period to develop LDC(d), and click this button. (period : Jan/1/2008 – Nov/8/2010, WQ : 00530) b c d

  27. Spatial Optimization for Managing Surface Runoff from Urbanization- Parameterization and Application of a Spatial Runoff Minimization Model Mi HoonJeong June 20, 2011

  28. 3rd Objective – Results Multiple-Objective Spatial Optimization for New Urban Development The ROMIN model was adjusted to identify optimal regions in terms of hydrologic management and socioeconomic consideration The LTM (Land Transformation Model) was chosen as a way to adjust the ROMIN model by providing socioeconomic preference for urban development

  29. Overall Summary Summary and Implications Hydrologic management can be supported by better decisions regarding urban development scale and location The proposed approach identifies optimal locations based on multiple objectives and the solutions are considered more practical than those based on only consideration of hydrologic impact management The ROMIN model has potential for solving other multiple objective problems

  30. Appendix (a) (b) (c) Muskegon Watershed Southfork Wildcat Creek-Cary Watershed (c) Little Eagle Creek Watershed

  31. 2nd Objective –Results • The relationship between urban development scale and hydrologic impact is a characteristic specific to a watershed Southfork Wildcat Creek-Cary Southfork Wildcat Creek-Cary Little Eagle Creek

  32. 2nd Objective –Results Optimal locations depend on development scale 40 ha development (23% urbanized) 120 ha development (29% urbanized) 200 ha development (34% urbanized) 360 ha development (46% urbanized) 280 ha development (40% urbanized) 320 ha development (43% urbanized)

  33. 2nd Objective –Results Optimal Location Change As the required area is increased, the current optimal location isn’t able to satisfy the required shape or area, or minimize runoff increase at the same location; therefore, it is necessary to re-compute the optimal location of development Critical Points & Slope Changes - a change in optimal development location or - Running out of least cost neighbor areas around the current location and inclusion of higher cost areas for development.

  34. 3rd Objective - Results The LTM-socioeconomic preference Likelihood of urbanization for each cell -> a substitute for socioeconomic preference Likelihood • 0 : no likelihood • Higher: higher likelihood of urbanization

  35. 1st Objective - Results ROMIN solutions are better than suitability solutions in terms of contiguousness and area requirement. The ROMIN Model Solution (c) Runoff Increase≤0.99cm (d) Runoff Increase ≤ 1.09cm Suitability Map Solutions (a) Runoff Increase≤0.1cm (b) Runoff Increase ≤ 0.76cm Suitability Map Solutions

  36. Overall Summary Future Possibilities Potential for a variety of applications by defining the objective function cost such as: • Identification of management zones for precision agriculture applications. • an optimal site selection whose objective is to minimize NPS pollution or erosion instead of runoff increase. • determination of land prioritization for water supply protection.
