Land Surface Elevation Updates Baseflows Latest Model Results Model Calibration Status Water Supply Plan Model Scenarios Next Steps Public Input
Model construction and Initial calibration Water use geodatabase and withdrawals Return flow methodology and quantities Hydrologic boundary condition Land surface elevation update Baseflow Reviews
Land Surface Elevation Update Baseflow Improvements More Quality Assurance Checks
Three sets of data available for the entire model
USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED)
Used for initial model development
NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)
Considered but not used
USGS 3D elevation Program (3DEP)
Used for updating the model
Bare earth
Supersedes
derived from
dataset led to erroneous simulated flooding in some areas
Estimated baseflows exceeding total flows Estimated stages vs Observed stages
