ArcGIS HEC-HMS Interface Data Model

July, 2003

CRWRCRWRCRWR

Project Goals: 1

• To provide a database for all HMS data, so that the data may be queried and retrieved efficiently.

Project Goals: 2

• To store data in a manner so that it is readily transferable from geodatabase to HMS files, and visa versa.

HMS files HMS geodatabase

Project Goals: 3

• To store watershed (spatial) data in a manner that can be easily viewed in ArcMap.

Project Goals: 4

• To store timeseries data in a manner that will be compatible with the latest timeseries tool kits.

Project Goals: 5

• To maintain a relationship between features in the ArcHydro model and features in the HMS Interface model.

Purpose: To provide a HMS data storage structure that will meet the requirements of the 5 project goals

Future Work• Expand schema to incorporate more HMS subroutines

including additional transform and routing options, and model calibration.

• Improve and expand upon codes for transferring data between the Interface Geodatabase and HMS files.

• Further exploration of the DHI timeseries toolkit, and how it can be used to aid in the viewing of DSS timeseries data.

• Explore ArcGIS Model Builder, and how it might be used to aid in data transfer and running HEC-HMS.
