Click on the menu display below to "interact" with the GIS Automated Watershed Storm Water Management Model designed by R.K.R. Hess Associates in conjunction with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). The model was developed to calculate parameters required by hydrologic models to determine storm water runoff flows and nonpoint source pollution contributions of a watershed. This model allows the user to pick on any point in the watershed from which the model will delineate a watershed bounday based on elevation information available from an underlying Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The model is capable of generating time of concentration lines, SCS Curve Numbers, and channel parameters such as depth, width and roughness coefficients. The model was designed so that planners can interactively determine the hydrologic and pollution effects that development might have on a watershed. (Please note that options which are shaded are not available in this demo)
