ArcGIS Interface to the WRAP Model Center for Research in Water Resources Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Clark Siler 05 Dec 2006 CE 394K.3 – GIS in Water Resources University of Texas at Austin
Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP) • Created by Dr. Ralph Wurbs of the Texas Water Resources Institute at Texas A&M • Used by TCEQ with WAM system • Digital management of water rights • Replaces manual map tracing method • WRAP Display tool shows results in GIS • Problems with current WRAP version
WRAP Display Tool Demonstration • Test site: Big Cypress Creek Watershed • near Mount Pleasant, TX

Addressing Inconsistencies • Inspect GIS attributes Old New
Addressing Inconsistencies • Examine data origins (WRAP output file)
Percent of Storage (July 1996, old WRAP version) Percent of Storage (July 1996, new WRAP version adjusted) Preliminary Rectification • Results after changing program code No change = Success!
Preliminary Rectification • Inspect GIS attributes
Looking Forward • Preprocessing may be automated • Time series graphs can be improved • Programming platform will be upgraded • Graphical user interface (GUI) will be enhanced • Elevation-Area-Capacity curves for small reservoirs will be explored CE 394K.3 – GIS in Water Resources University of Texas at Austin
Conclusion • WRAP changes affect the Display tool • Code can be modified • Subsequent results are the same • Additional features can be added CE 394K.3 – GIS in Water Resources University of Texas at Austin CE 394K.3 – GIS in Water Resources University of Texas at Austin
Time Series Graphs -Can be improved
