CUAHSI Hydrologic Information Systems
CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS) Project
• CUAHSI Standing Committee on HIS functioned from Fall 2001 to Fall 2003 and guided the proposal development
• NSF Project was awarded on April 1, 2004• This a 2-year project to define the requirements
for a Center for Hydrologic Information (CHI) and to develop a prototype HIS
• Plan for years 3 and onwards is that NSF will hold competitions for:– Center for Hydrologic Information – HydroInformatics Thematic Centers

Environmental Cyberinfrastructure
• Part of NSF Cyberinfrastructure program
• Special emphasis on environmental sciences fostered by Margaret Leinen (Asst Dir for GeoSciences)
• CUAHSI Hydrologic Information Systems is one of several pilot projects

Hydrologic Digital LibraryDigital files of hydrologic information in any form
(ADOs), indexed by a metadata catalog (.MIF)
Digital Watershed(Atmospheric, surface and subsurface water)
Arbitrary Digital Object (ADO)
Sensor Network Interfaces to Digital Library
Example is for wireless network in Santa Margarita watershed, San Diego

HIS Info for HO ProposalsNow
Nov 1
Feb 1
May 1
Interact with HO Proposers to clarify data requirements
HO Proposals are submitted
HO announcment is made by NSFHIS White Paper published by CUAHSI
Draft HIS White PaperReview by HIS Users CommitteeRevision
HIS White Paper will define what centralized servicesthe HOs should expect to be provided to them
Education:GIS for Water Resources• Graduate course taught
jointly between Univ. of Texas and Utah State Univ.
• All lectures in video streaming format and supporting class materials are archived and available free of charge on internet
• Class starts this Thursday• Grad hydrology class taught
similarly next Spring• An Arc Hydro book
available here for each HO team
Conclusions• A good start has been made with HIS
• Digital Hydrologic Library and Digital Watershed ideas are reasonably well formulated
• Work on mass balances, fluxes and flows is developing
• We want to support you in making your HO proposals to the extent we can
