Regional Storm Water Modeling Program and Master Plan for San Antonio City of San Antonio
San Antonio Regional Watershed Modeling System Geospatial Data: City, County SARA, other “Bring the models together” Modeling System Rainfall Data: Rain gages Nexrad Calibration Data: Flows Water Quality Floodplain Management Capital Improvement Planning Water quality planning Integrated Regional Water Resources planning Flood Forecasting
Arc Hydro Data Model: A Geodatabase containing a GIS representation of a Hydrological Information System under a case-specific database design
Geographically Integrated Flood Information System Engineering Models GIS InterfaceData Models HEC-HMS Geo Database Arc Hydro data model HEC-RAS Flood Impact Analysis
Objectives • Develop a geographically integrated flood modeling system using ArcGIS and the HEC models using Salado Creek in San Antonio as a case study • Drive this system with digital rain maps to generate flood maps • Store and generate HEC flood models from an ArcGIS geodatabase • Develop a scenario management system to generate and evaluate flood design alternatives
Bringing Models Together: Long Time Goal (Feldman, Advances in Hydroscience, Vol.12. Orlando, Fl, Academic Press, 1981)
Sources of Rainmap data • Historical NEXRAD data – NWS and TNRIS archive • Real-time NEXRAD data - web portal services • Forecast Data – NWS QPF • Design rainfall maps – 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 year design rainfalls as used for FEMA floodplain studies
NEXRAD WSR-88D Radars in Central Texas(Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler)scanning range = 230 km NEXRAD Products: Stage I: Just Radar Stage II: gages, satellite, and surface temperature Stage III: Continuous mosaic from radar overlaps EWX – NEXRAD radar in New Braunfels Source: PBS&J, 2003

HEC Data Storage System (DSS)(binary data file system shared by HEC models) • An exact replica of the binary DSS files is stored in the ArcGIS geodatabase • An Arc 9 Toolbox exchanges data between DSS and the geodatabase Time series catalog Many time series
FLOODPLAIN MAP NEXRAD Map to Flood Map in Arc 9 Model Builder Flood map as output Model for flood flow HMS Model for flood depth NEXRAD rainfall map as input
Conclusions • Model Integration • Geographic Integration • Arc Hydro and Interface Data Models • Information Exchange Points • Data Bridges • Implemented in Arc 9.0 ModelBuilder • Adaptable for ingestion of historic, real time, forecast, and design precipitation inputs
