Software

StreamStats—Accomplishments: Completed StreamStatsDB statistics database

MS Access database with user-friendly GUI Contains published descriptive information,

basin characteristics, and streamflow statistics

Replacement for the Basin Characteristics File Data to be entered by Districts When populated, will facilitate large regional

studies Plan to add sediment characteristics Developed by Aqua Terra Consultants

Page 8: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

StreamStats—Accomplishments:

Enhanced National Flood Frequency (NFF) software to serve as equation-solving engine for StreamStats Added ability to solve low-flow as well as

high-flow equations Added weighting technique for ungaged sites Added region-of-influence analysis Added prediction intervals TOTAL COST (StreamStatsDB and NFF) ~

$102,500

StreamStats—Accomplishments: Added measurement of basin characteristics to

ArcHydro “Desktop Tool” working in ArcMap 8.2/8.3 Basin characteristics needed for Idaho (except

MCS) Basin area Mean elevation Relief Mean slope Percent of basin area >= 30 % slope Percent of basin area >= 30 % slope and North-facing Mean annual Precipitation Percent Forested area

StreamStats—Accomplishments:

Database development—Idaho ArcHydro data for Salmon and Clearwater

River basins, 18 HUCs Partial processing completed for remaining

120 HUCs Base map material for Web site completed,

covering all Idaho plus large margin

Page 11: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

StreamStats—Accomplishments:

Prototype Web-Based Application for ID User interface mostly complete Base maps complete for ID Basic watershed delineation Basin characteristics computation Interfaces with NFF to solve equations Download watershed shapefile with

attributes Print maps shown in map frame ESRI contract, partly done through CRADA

StreamStats—To be done:

Testing, Testing, Testing Load testing

Will multiple users crash it? Are time-out errors acceptable?

Fix a few minor bugs Add monthly flow exceedance estimates

Page 13: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

StreamStats—To be done:

To take web site public we must first: Write data-set documentation (metadata) Write general documentation, tutorials, caveats

and disclaimers Continue verification that results are comparable to

those used for development of regression equations

Complete ArcHydro data development for remainder of Idaho

Initially exclude monthly flow exceedance computations requiring main channel slope

Display gage statistics database

Page 14: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

StreamStats—Future Developments:

Phase 2 Plans for Q4 FY 2003 Make several improvements to the user interface Allow user edits to watershed polygon Better integration with NFF, improved reporting of

results Display stream-gage data from StreamStatsDB Assess multi-user performance issues—find bottlenecks Start on multi-state issues, implementation docs If possible, begin serving parts of New England pilot

(NH, VT, MA)

Page 15: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

StreamStats—Future Developments:

Phase 3 Plans for FY2004 (subject to change) Multistate issues—scaling and implementation Address performance issues—especially in

multiuser environment Add computation of Main Channel Slope

Extending channel to divide was manual process for Idaho ESRI implementing automated process in ArcHydro Extensive testing needed

Batch delineation (desktop tool only) Channel elevation profile artifact removal Drainage-area ratio method with nearby gages Tie to National Hydrography Dataset (NHD)

Implementation Plan District offices will complete required

work, usually through cooperative funding StreamStats team will provide guidance

and support to Districts Everything will be served from

StreamStats servers in Idaho States will be put on line internally to

check results States will be made available to the public

when results have been proven acceptable

Page 17: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

District Responsibilities Provide regression equations Populate the streamflow statistics database Develop the necessary GIS data sets Test the application and summarize results Potentially develop new regression

equations, using GIS data to measure basin characteristics

Approve use of equations on Web

Page 18: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

District Responsibilities—What will it take?

Building ArcHydro data sets from EDNA (experienced GIS expert) ~30 min per 8-digit HUC interactive processing 1—2 weeks building global and regional data

sets + 1 week learning curve for learning to do

networks in GeoDatabase Note: (ID and OR districts have people with

experience, consider farming this out)

Page 19: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

District Responsibilities—What will it take? (cont.)

~2 weeks per state to prepare DRGs ~1 week per state to append/prepare NHD Optional “New England Method” Enhanced DEM

processing, 3-6 hrs interactive work per HUC plus (typically overnight) CPU time

Multiply GIS total by ~2X for general data management

Multiply GIS total by ~2X—5X for less experienced GIS staff (AML and Grid experience very desirable)

Very fast PC essential for processing

Page 20: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

District Responsibilities—What will it take? (cont.)

Hardware Server and disk space<= $5K (to be centrally

administered) Hardware maintenance plus replacement every 3

yrs ~$2K/yr External USB 2 Hard Drive ~$400 (will return to

district) Software licensing and site support

Assume OSW will continue to fund this Potential future (shared) costs if OSW funding lost

Why can’t districts run their own StreamStats site?

StreamStats is a very complex application with all the following working together: ArcGIS with ArcHydro Tools ArcSDE SQL Server ArcIMS IIS ASP Tomcat Javascript and HTML

Page 22: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

Why can’t districts run their own StreamStats site? (cont.)

Minimum Hardware & Software costs ~ $20,000 ArcIMS and IIS security, firewall concerns Need at least two dedicated servers, isolated

from district LAN, high bandwidth WAN connection

StreamStats team = 4 part-time staff (<2 FTE) Next 1-2 years, we will support 1 installation in

Idaho serving multiple states Longer term probably regional installations

make sense

Page 23: StreamStats Update and Demo—Please Stand By

Summary StreamStats uses cutting-edge technology to

put stream information in the hands of users Based on the ArcHydro Data Model and Tools Design is flexible and expandable States will need to develop funding to

implement Full implementation will likely take several

years
