  8. Stream cell Cell to Cell Grid Network Through the Landscape

  9. Delineation ofStreams and Watersheds on a DEM

  10. GTOPO30 - 1 km Digital Elevation Model of the Earth

  11. Drainage in North America

  12. 1500 Major Drainage Basins

  13. National Hydro Data Programs National Elevation Dataset (NED) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) NED-Hydrology Watershed Boundary Dataset

  14. Watersheds of the US 8-digit HUC watersheds 2-digit water resource regions

  15. Hydrologic Unit Code Watersheds ~ 2000 for US, about the size of counties

  16. Watershed Hierarchy Digit # 2 4 6 8 HUC 10 12 NED-H Available In Progress

  17. National Program by USGS and USDA (NRCS) Boundaries for 10- and 12- digit watersheds First cut is by automated delineation from NED Hand checked and edited Watershed Boundary Dataset 10-digit watersheds

  18. National program by USGS and NWS 5000 cellthreshold on a 30m DEM (~ 8 km2 average drainage area) ~ 1 million catchments for US when completed Includes grid derived products e.g. topmodel index

  19. EPA River Reach File 1 (RF1)

  20. River networks for 8-digit HUC watersheds

  21. Lower West Fork, Trinity River Basin HUC = 12030102

  22. NHD River Reaches 412 River Reaches In Upper West Fork

  23. River Reach Codes Rch_Code = 12030102000151 Rch_Code = 12030102000005 Segment# HUC#

  24. Colorado River Network 1:100,000 scale river network developed from NHD ~ 60,000 edges 40,000 mile2 drainage area

  25. City of Austin Stream Network Developed from 1”=100’ Capco Areal photogrammetry 1:1200 scale 63,000 edges 6,300 stream miles

  26. Stream Definition: Waller Creek Austin Watersheds with Streamsderived from Aerial Photographs Streamlines generated by the aerial photographs are not always continuous.

  27. Information for Correcting Stream Network • DEM • Contours • Storm sewers • Orthophotos

  28. Resulting Corrected Stream • Subsequent steps: • Verification of corrected streams by flood hydrologists. • Running “tracer” program to connect arcs. • Burning of streams into DEM.

  29. Colorado River at Mansfield Dam From NHD 1:100,000 scale River Reaches Lake Travis City of Austin Stream network 1:1200 scale

  30. Detailed Comparison between NHD and Austin streams Good agreement between data sets developed independently at very different spatial scales
