Stream Asset Inventory GIS Model
• Goals – – Use a variety of spatial
datasets to test feasibility and accuracy of modeling stream types and orders
– Support the field data collection efforts by providing accurate reference data prior to sampling
Johnson County AIMShttp://aims.jocogov.org
Pilot Study
• Test watershed is Blue River in southeast corner of Johnson County
• Approx. 100 mile2
Johnson County AIMShttp://aims.jocogov.org
Process
• Use spatial analysis and hydrological modeling tools to model stream network and environmental conditions
• Solid DEM is basis of accurate results
• Majority of hydrologic products derived from DEM including the streams, subwatersheds, slope, etc

Tools
• Free extensions packaged with Arc8 and AV3.x– Hydrology Modelling, HydroAnalyst
• Free 3rd party extensions for use with ESRI products– ArcHydro, Strahler Stream Order…

Additional Attributes
• Slope – Average
• Sinousity – Curve/Line
• Slope/Sinousity – Gives Condition Index
• Channel Stability (Erodiblility) – Slope/Soil

Challenges of Watershed Delineation
• Not an exact science and there’s no standard
• Typically done with 30 meter DEM
• We’re not hydrologists
• Testing the various inputs to generating watershed data
• Contour vs. Masspoint• Burning In Streams• Establishing Input Parameter Thresholds• Handling high resolution data • Handling Anomalies

Layers for Analysis
• Essential– Impervious Surfaces – Current Land Use– Future Land Use
• Helpful– Vegetative Cover– Road Crossings– Sewer Lines– Developable Land– Wetlands– Soils– Pollution Sources
