DETAILS ABOUT RESEARCH DATA USED IN THE LIVABILITY TOOL
Modeler(s):
Tran Duc, Venkat Lakshmi
Model: RHESSys and SWAT
Model inputs: High resolution terrain data, soils, land use/land cover, climate
Model outputs + units:
Runoff rates and flows at daily time steps. Can be cfs, cms, in, mm.
Soil moisture in depth units (root zone)
Display in the Livability Tool:
Aggregated to watersheds and stream reaches for runoff and discharge
Can be grid cell or aggregated to HRU for soil moisture
How future scenarios will be determined (projections to 2100): Repeat simulations with downscaled, bias corrected climate projections
Smallest scale of model outputs: 10-30m
