Kentucky Watershed Modeling Information Portal

Presentation Overview

Project Goals & Objectives

Increase Model Use TMDLs needed for 2,000+ impaired pollutant/waterbodies in KY

Improve Modeling Efficiency

KWMIP compiles and formats many model data layers

Improve Modeling Products More consistent climate and GIS data usage statewide

Train Water Resource Managers

Models as Decision Support Tools

Train Modelers

KWMIP and new datasets

Project DescriptionKWMIP In Concept

• Modelers/users select a watershed or area of interest.

• KWMIP locates necessary data, clips, zips and ships to modeler for use.

• KWMIP is available for uses other than modeling

EPA Environmental Information Exchange Network Challenge Grant

$750,000 Cooperative Agreement between USEPA and KY Commonwealth Office of Technology (COT)

Project Period: October 2004 – September 2007

Interface with EPA’s Environmental Information Exchange Network and KY’s GIS databases

Vendor neutral links to GIS and databases
