  1. GIS Modeling of Source Areas of Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution James Zollweg, Ph.D. SUNY-Brockport Earth Sciences Water Resources Program USDA Conesus Lake Project

  2. Overview • Nature/history of modeling work • Philosophy of this approach • Sand Point Gully study area • Goals USDA Conesus Lake Project

  3. Runoff and Soil Moisture Modeling with SMR • Variable Source Area Hydrology • Critical Source Areas for Nonpoint Source Pollution USDA Conesus Lake Project

  4. Runoff and Soil Moisture Modeling with SMR • SMR – The Soil Moisture Routing Model • GIS is the Ideal Environmental Modeling Platform • Spatially-distributed, Physically-based USDA Conesus Lake Project

  5. Runoff and Soil Moisture Modeling with SMR Private Function HM_NeighborFlow(sStorage As String, _ pInterflowRaster As IRaster, ierr As Integer) As Boolean '----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' The storage is adjusted for the amount leaving, the interflow and the amount ' entering from neighbor cells. The maps north, northeast, east, southeast, ' south, southwest, west and northwest represent the fraction of flow heading ' in 'that' direction from the current cell. Therefore to find the amount ' entering the current cell one needs to look at the neighbor cells and the ' corresponding maps which point to the current cell. For example, if the ' current cell is (i,j) and one looks to the north (i-1,j) one would use the ' south map to get the fraction of flow since the current cell is south of its ' north neighbor. ' --------------------------------------------------------------- ' | cell: (i-1, j-1) | cell: (i-1, j) | cell: (i-1, j+1) | ' | map: southeast | map: south | map: southwest | ' --------------------------------------------------------------- ' | cell: (i-1, j) | cell: (i, j) | cell: (i+1, j+1) | ' | map: east | map: none | map: west | ' --------------------------------------------------------------- ' | cell: (i+1, j-1) | cell: (i+1, j) | cell: (i+1, j+1) | ' | map: northeast | map: north | map: northwest | ' --------------------------------------------------------------- (148 pages of code) • Coded and Running in Lennon Hall Using Visual BASIC within ArcGIS 8.2 • Complete Control of Code • Easy to Integrate Additional Environmental Modeling Concepts USDA Conesus Lake Project
