How To Resolve Channel Travel Time Errors In The Tr-55 Worksheet Using Arc Hydro Tools, Hec-Geohms And Hec-Hms, Philip A. Adalikwu, Suzette R. Burckhard Jul 2021

How To Resolve Channel Travel Time Errors In The Tr-55 Worksheet Using Arc Hydro Tools, Hec-Geohms And Hec-Hms, Philip A. Adalikwu, Suzette R. Burckhard

Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports and Manuals

This tutorial is an illustration of a stepwise procedure for resolving errors in calculated channel travel times that occur when processing watershed parameters in HEC-GeoHMS. Channel travel time errors occur when a GIS-defined channel slope value during preprocessing of the Digital Elevation Data (DEM) is zero or negative (Adalikwu, 2021). The tutorial is intended to assist a relatively experienced ArcMap user resolve channel travel time errors that are documented in the TR55 Worksheet. Particularly, this tutorial is useful if the Muskingum method is selected by the watershed modeler as the river routing method. The K parameter value in the Muskingum …

Water and Environmental Engineering Research Reports

Regional water systems are a primary conduit of water supply for much of South Dakota’s rural and small community populations. As of 2006, greater than one-third of South Dakota’s population was served by water supplied from regional water systems, and when Lewis and Clark Rural Water delivers water to Sioux Falls, over one-half of South Dakota’s population will be served by regional water systems. Greater than 75% of incorporated communities with public water supplies are served by regional water systems, either as bulk communities or as individual customers. Many farms and agricultural industries use rural water for domestic use, livestock …
