Watershed and Urban Hydrology Modeling Workshop

1
Watershed and Urban Hydrology Modeling Workshop

• California Water and Environmental Modeling Forum
• Secretary of State Building Auditorium,
  Sacramento
• June 22, 2007

2
Workshop Purpose

• Introduce participants to
• watershed and urban hydrology models,
• the capabilities and data requirements of each
  model, and
• how the models are used for specific
  applications.

3
Watershed/Urban Hydrology Models

• Quantify runoff flow rates and WQ impacts
• Calculate TMDL load allocations
• Size storm water control facilities, delineating
  flood plain areas, reservoir spillway design
• Evaluate storage, treatment, and other best
  management practices for NP source load
  reductions and
• Compare trade-offs of sewer extensions vs.
  on-site wastewater systems.

CWEMF

• Mission to increase the usefulness of models for
  analyzing Californias water-related problems
• Provide a consensus-building atmosphere on
  water-related issues

5
CWEMF Services

• Facilitate open, constructive discussion of
  conflicting opinions on physical, chemical,
  biological, and economic modeling
• Conduct problem-solving workshops to address
  technical disagreements
• Organize technical training and educational
  workshops
