CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS) Project • CUAHSI Standing Committee on HIS functioned from Fall 2001 to Fall 2003 and guided the proposal development • NSF Project was awarded on April 1, 2004 • This a 2-year project to define the requirements for a Center for Hydrologic Information (CHI) and to develop a prototype HIS • Plan for years 3 and onwards is that NSF will hold competitions for: • Center for Hydrologic Information • HydroInformatics Thematic Centers

Environmental Cyberinfrastructure • Part of NSF Cyberinfrastructure program • Special emphasis on environmental sciences fostered by Margaret Leinen (Asst Dir for GeoSciences) • CUAHSI Hydrologic Information Systems is one of several pilot projects

GIS representation of the horizontal dimension 3000 m 1600 m Each cell is 100 meters by 100 meters
Create a 3 dimensional representation Geovolume Each cell in the 2D representation is transformed into a 3D object Geovolume with model cells
What is a Modelshed? A volumetric spatial model registered in three dimensions by a GIS, with which time-varying data, model fluxes, spatial relationships and descriptive metadata are associated Praveen Kumar, University of Illinois
Applications: Helping Remote Sensing and GIS data Talk Time series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)

Nov 1 Feb 1 May 1 HIS Info for HO Proposals Now Interact with HO Proposers to clarify data requirements Draft HIS White Paper Review by HIS Users Committee Revision HO announcment is made by NSF HIS White Paper published by CUAHSI HO Proposals are submitted HIS White Paper will define what centralized services the HOs should expect to be provided to them
Graduate course taught jointly between Univ. of Texas and Utah State Univ. All lectures in video streaming format and supporting class materials are archived and available free of charge on internet Class starts this Thursday Grad hydrology class taught similarly next Spring An Arc Hydro book available here for each HO team Education:GIS for Water Resources
Conclusions • A good start has been made with HIS • Digital Hydrologic Library and Digital Watershed ideas are reasonably well formulated • Work on mass balances, fluxes and flows is developing • We want to support you in making your HO proposals to the extent we can David Maidment: maidment@mail.utexas.edu John Helly hellyj@ucsd.edu http://cuahsi.sdsc.edu
