  28. Potential Applications

  29. Additional Issues • Requests • Well defined hydrologic units • CGIA offer desktop GIS products • Canopy height • Digital historic aerial photographs

  30. Conclusions (prelim.) • WWW based availability of Floodplain related data would increase its usage • Data access by: map panel, custom area and browser are preferred • Data available in shape file and .e00 format • Images: MrSID, JPEG and TIFF format • Applications: Download data, real-time flood warning, Property/Flood boundary look-up

  31. Interview Questions

  32. Interview • Who do you represent? • How do you anticipate you will interact with the system? • What is the most important aspect of this project to you?

  33. Applications • Download data in native file types and coordinate systems • This would allow users to download floodplain data in a GIS format for use in spatial analysis and overlay mapping. • Property / flood boundary lookup • The user will enter an address or parcel number and the system will zoom to the area and show a map with the flood boundary and the address. This will assist local communities in complying with existing flood ordinances. Example uses would include identifying homes in the 100-year floodplain or locating properties in the FEMA Floodway. • Approximate floodplain mapping delineator • This would determine an approximate flood elevation at any location where the stream is not studied by FEMA or the upcoming NC Floodplain Project.

  34. Applications • Real time flood warning and forecasting • View in real-time streams that are at or approaching flood stage and have the ability to predict when a river will reach its peak and the predicted stage at peak. Using these predicted stages - view a map of the floodplain resulting in this flood stage. View which roads are closed or overtopped. • Spill modeling • A live application which would allow emergency response centers to respond to a hazardous waste spill and direct clean up crews to a particular location. The application will trace to spill to the extents of the State line and will give estimated times of arrival at various locations. • Evaluation of rezoning requests • The impacts of rezoning requests could be evaluated using the GIS and modeling tools to determine the impacts to flood elevations based on rezoning requests and the following development.

  35. Applications • Rainfall maps • View historical flooding rainfall data spatially distributed across the state. View real time rainfall data during a storm. The ability to print our download images of the rainfall depths and intensities. • Inventory management • This application would allow users to view survey and attribute information about bridges, culverts and dams along a river or stream. Information available will include size, shape, number of culverts, length, bridge span, dam elevation, overtopping elevation, frequency of overtopping, etc. Users could also view and download digital pictures of the structure. • Water quality analysis • Using data from computer models in the GIS, users could view impaired watersheds and streams based on given pollutants (nitrogen, sediment, phosphorus, etc)

  36. Applications • Detailed Tracking of Data • Allow the State to determine who has a particular type of data so that if it is revised. • Work order management • Assist the local communities comply with NPDES. The NC Floodplain Project will organize all of the terrain data as well as large structures. • QA / QC of flood data • Allow stakeholders to check the quality of the data for their own purposes. • Upload flood data revisions • Allow stakeholders to upload new data that the State may use to update the flood analysis. Examples of updates would include new culverts or bridges, modifications to existing culverts and bridges, etc
