L-THIABased on the rainfall – land cover – runoff analysis
method already used in many communities (TR55)
Input: Land Use + Soils Information
Process: Daily Runoff and Pollutant Loading Calculations (30 years of local rainfall)
Output: Average Annual Runoff and NPS loads for each specific land use pattern

Watershed delineation
DEM comes into play to determine the contributing areaUse “watershed” to categorize the landuse and soilEach landuse-soil combination has a specific impact on runoff chemistry Calculate NPS effects based on curve numbers

Watershed Characteristics are prepared as inputs to several models, using original and edited as separate scenarios.

Behind the scenes
Math is too slow without prepared layersFlow direction, flowpath precalculated.Large rasters (landuse, soils) are tiled to speed access8 –digit watersheds chosen as tile size

Region 5 EPA provided funds to extend LTHIA to whole region

For each 8-digit watershed an Arc Info script clips landuse, soils, DEM then burns-in streams, runs delineation to get flow direction, flow accumulation, flowpath, and does miscellaneous reformat and cleanup.

Without funding to repair the USGS NED DEM, our approach was to warn users that in some areas the watershed calculated from the DEM was not reliable.

Indiana Geological Survey revised NED DEM
“Noise” is gone!
![Page 30: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Burning Issues…
DEMS can be so detailed that they cause problems.
In flat areas it is critical to “burn in” physical path to get correct logical flow
![Page 31: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Area 1
Our Calculated Flow (black arrows) runs backwards along Calumet SAG channel.This impacts all the way to Area 1 in Illinois
![Page 33: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
We discovered that the IGS DEM has road embankments in it which are not being fully cut when the streams are burned-in. One acting like a dam on the flat SAG channel backs water up into Indiana from Illinois.
![Page 34: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
This area shows the problem, as lakes east of the Interstate flow wrong way, to the north.
![Page 35: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Interstate clearly forms a “dam” (dotted lines) in the DEM.Original model flow depicted.
![Page 36: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Flow from the east side is blocked by the interstate and forced to go north to the lake. Aerials clearly show flow passing under the bridge going to west.
Stream layer was edited to burn a channel into the east lakes and the bridge was “pitted” to also cut the embankment. Flow shown is BEFORE repairs, and goes east.
![Page 37: LTHIA and Online Watershed Delineation - Tale of a DEM consumer](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813545550346895d9ca377/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
After adding the hydraulic connection under the Interstate the lakes all drain to the west. Final flow depicted.
