Understanding the User-Assisted Interface for Hydrologic Modelers and Water Balance Trading
The User-Assisted Interface (UAI) is designed to connect end users with hydrologic modelers, guiding the process of online water balance credit trading. It involves defining vulnerable and sensitive watersheds impacting groundwater withdrawal and incorporates essential data visualizations, such as groundwater maps and hydrologic conductivity. By identifying data resources at appropriate scales, the UAI assists modelers in determining data requirements. Next steps include collaborating with modeling teams and showcasing a prototype web interface to facilitate user engagement in the credit trading process.

User Assisted Interface Jeremiah Asher and Yi Shi
What is the UAI • Defined the UAI • Interface designed to link end users with hydrologic modelers and guide the process of online water balance credit trading. • Several Conceptual Models
Vulnerable / Sensitive Watersheds • In the process of defining vulnerable or sensitive watersheds to ground water withdraw • Ground water maps • Statewide base flow/water temp for trout streams • Hydrologic conductivity map • Darcy map • Use the outputs as maps to be incorporated into the UAI ? ? ? ?
Assist with Modeling Data Requirements • Preparing to work with modeling team to determine data requirements for model runs • Identify and map data resources available at appropriate scales • Additional data requirements could be passed backed to the permit applicant.
Next Steps • Work with modeling team to obtain data requirements for models • Display and discuss vulnerable/sensitive watersheds • Show a prototype web interface, providing the work flow of the end user and how the credit trading process may work
