Hydrologic Simulation Program –Fortran- basin-scale model- simulates watershed hydrology and

water quality

SJRWMD Core missions• Water supply planning• Surface water

resource protection• Flood protection (regional)

HSPF Visualization ProjectHSPF Visualization Project

Objective: “develop a decision support system, to include: – construction of an HSPF visualization

tool incorporating existing HSPF models…”

Major tasks:• Design and population of database tables• Model registration tool• ArcMap visualization

Geodatabase tablesGeodatabase tablesTable Purpose

HSPF_Scenarios Manages scenarios consisting of one or more individual HSPF models

HSPF_Models Manages information about individual HSPF models

HSPF_Scenario_Models Identifies the individual HSPF models that comprise a scenario

HSPF_Model_Results_Catalog Catalogs the time series available for a given model

HSPF_Model_Reaches Identifies the GDB HydroEdge elements that are included in a model and the specific model element with which they are associated

HSPF_Model_Lands Identifies the GDB QuadBasin elements that correspond to areas included in the specific model

The model repositoryThe model repository

• Background for ArcMap visualization tool development

• ArcMap HSPF visualization tool functionalities

• Future development enhancement

• BASINS system + HSPF(Better Assessment Science Integrating point and

Nonpoint Sources)– Display and interpretation of output data derived from

model applications– Display a variety of data formats

Limitations:– Require some understanding of model input

and output– Need to know the data source location– Model result is watershed-based and from one

scenario– Model result can’t be displayed with other

GIS data in ArcMap

HSPF Visualization Tool: FunctionalityHSPF Visualization Tool: Functionality

• Model spatial search– Is any data available in this area?

• Data search– Filter available data using parameters

• View the selected data in graph– Time series graph– Scatter plot graph

• Export the selected data– Export graph– Export in text format

• Software requirement– ArcGIS desktop 9.2 or up

• Input data requirement– Valid polygon feature class: shapefile, file or sde

geodatabase feature class.

Future development enhancement– Analysis function:

Show summarized result for monthly, yearly or daily average value;

– Create heat map Symbolize land elements using model results;

– Symbolize reach by model result
