Why Arc Hydro?
Manage and maintain data quickly, efficiently & accurately
Automate tedious & time consuming tasks
Cut costs
“Visualize” hydrologic features
Communicate data and concepts
Multiple Uses for Drainage Infrastructure Data

Arc Hydro, LiDAR, and Watershed Management Planning
Arc Hydro (tools) and LiDAR are the foundation of WMPArc Hydro Geodatabase is becoming defacto standard for storing and managing WMPs– Centralized– Portable– Promotes updating (terrain changes / growth)

Arc Hydro Tools
Set of tools used to automate/streamline engineering workflow for watershed parameterizations
Starting point: Terrain and Arc Hydro -ready mdb
Typical JE WMP Steps
Catchment delineation– DEM creation– Sinks– FDIR– FAC– Stream definition and segmentation– Catchment delineation
Field recon and survey– Geodatabase checkout– Direct parameter input– Survey plan developed
Model parameterization– Finalize model schematic– Hydrologic parameterization (Tc, CN, EMCs, DCIA, etc)– Hydraulic parameterization
Channel polygon exclusionsCross-section extensions/blending (survey and LiDAR)Stage/area/volumeCross-section extraction and thinning\Initial conditionsLink entrance and loss coefficients
Model development, calibration and verification– Initial conditions floodplain– Geodatabase tables to model– Calibration using NEXRAD and other watershed data– Model results to geodatabase– Floodplains– Pollutant loading
