Drainage Analysis of the Sacramento River

• Hong Sun
• Term Project for CE 394K
• Department of Civil Engineering, EWRE

Project Purpose

• The Sacramento River locates inside a floodplain
  (A floodplain is the lowland adjacent to a river,
  lake or ocean).
• It is of great interest to do drainage analysis,
  and to look into the aspect of flood control.
• To exercise the basic techniques, also hopefully
  to get something new, specific and useful.

Conclusion Future Work

• Fix the problem in Adjoint Catchment processing.
• Finished the part of Watershed Delineation.
• Continue to look into the flood aspect, including
  the Statsgo soil map of the area of study.
