Gis Applications in Urban Drainage Master Planning
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, GIS applications in water resources management have become widespread and diverse in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Application areas include urban infrastructure master planning for storm and sanitary drainage systems, water distribution, watershed planning, and regional groundwater protection. This development has occurred despite the challenge faced by users that base data (e.g., DEM’s) is not as readily available as in other jurisdictions in North America. Recent applications include aspects of i) data management reviewing and editing of catchment and infrastructure data for hydraulic simulation models such as XP-SWMM and EPANET, ii) analysis using custom applications developed for water balance analysis, or using core GIS functions such as geoprocessing, surface modelling and hydrologic analysis of major drainage systems within ESRI’s Spatial Analyst extension, and iii) presentation – sharing study findings with clients, colleagues and the public using thematic mapping and 3-dimensional models. These aspects are presented in a case study “City of Stratford, City-Wide Storm System Master Plan”, currently being completed on behalf of the City. The study reveals GIS to be as an indispensable, multi-purpose tool for infrastructure master planning that enables sophisticated desktop analyses, efficient simulation model preand post-processing, and effective data management and communication, all through the use of intrinsic functionality and readily available on-line utilities.
