Computer Modeling Of The North Fork Of The Kentucky River Using Swat And Basins, T. Bischoff, S. Yost, L. Ormsbee, T. Stumbur

KWRRI Research Reports

The purpose of this study was to investigate possible watershed models for use in the State of Kentucky's new watershed framework initiative and to apply the selected model(s) to the North Fork of the Kentucky River as part of an initial pilot project. SWAT and BASINS models were compared.

Gis Linkage With Hydrologic Models: Application To The North Fork Of The Kentucky River (With Geo-Spatial Data Needs And Sources), T. Stumbur, L. Ormsbee

KWRRI Research Reports

This report focuses on links between GIS and hydrologic models and geo-spatial data needs and sources. The use and calibration of the hydrologic models reviewed in this paper are addressed by another report (see Bischoff, Yost, Ormsbee 1997.)

Part 1 of this report explains the general principles of a GIS database. It gives an overview of the Arc/Info and ArcView data models by providing a brief description of each spatial data format and explaining how spatial and tabular data are linked in a GIS environment. Part 1 also addresses the data compatibility issues related to projection, scale and resolution of …

Kentucky Watershed Priority Formula: Application Guidelines And Data Requirements, L. Ormsbee, Lee Colten

KWRRI Research Reports

This report presents a methodology for ranking and selecting individual 11-digit HUCs for subsequent development of detailed watershed management plans as part of the Kentucky Watershed Management Framework. The proposed methodology consists of two phases: 1) Prioritization and 2) Targeting. The prioritization phase is used to rank 11-digit HUCs on the basis of existing special protection areas and the existence or potential existence of designated use impairment. The prioritization is accomplished using a priority watershed formula developed especially for this purpose. The formula is intended to serve as an objective tool for compiling environmental indicators to rank watershedsand for use …
