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
