CI-WATER Project
NSF RII Track 2 Cyberinfrastructure Cooperative
Agreement joint between NSF EPSCoR and Utah
and Wyoming EPSCoR jurisdictions. Total budget
$6.0M
Focused on acquisition of hardware, development
of software, capacity building, education, and
outreach.
Sept. 1, 2011, - Aug. 31, 2015
Project Objectives:
1. Enhance cyberinfrastructure facilities at
collaborating universities.
2. Enhance access to data- and
computationally- intensive modeling
3. Advance high-resolution multi-physics watershed
modeling
4. Promote STEM learning and water science
engagement across diverse groups

Gridded Surface/Subsurface
Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA) model
Downer and Ogden, GSSHA User's Manual (2003), J. Hydrologic Engineering (2004)
http://www.gsshawiki.com
GSSHA
- Square grid (5 to 90 m typical grid size)
- Multi-solver.
- Multi-physics
- 2D overland flow, wetland and groundwater flow
- 1D channel routing with hydraulic structures
- Richards' Eqn. or Green-Ampt Redistribution
coupling between overland flow and groundwater
- Erosion/deposition, sediment transport, nutrients
GSSHA is an excellent hydrologic engineering tool.
GSSHA Applications
Supported by the DoD Watershed Modeling System (WMS)
- Flood forecasting in civil and military contexts
- Soil moisture/trafficability predictions
- Urban flood hydrology/storm drainage/land use change
- Flood inundation mapping/post event analysis
- Hurricane storm surge predictions in coastal areas
- Channel improvements and levee design
- FEMA Certified for use in flood insurance studies, 2013

GARTO Scheme (Lai, Ogden, Steinke, Talbot, WRR 2015), 200 times faster than T-O and up
to 2000 times faster than Richards' (1931) equation with guaranteed mass conservation.
Infiltration: Green & Ampt with Redistribution (GAR) (Ogden & Saghafian 1997) enhanced.
Finite Water Content solution (T-O) (Ogden et al., WRR 2015) for vadose zone dynamics in
response to changes in groundwater table elevation:
GARTO performance:
-two pulses of rainfall
-water table set at 4b
below ground
surface.
- advantage of
GARTO scheme is
that it is explicit,
arithmetic, AND
guaranteed to
conserve mass.
-fully coupled surface
to groundwater
table
Inputs
- Topography: USGS NED, SRTM
- Land use/land cover: airborne, satellite or modeled.
- Soils: texture, layers, thicknesses
- Aquifers: alluvial and tributary extent and transmissivity
- Streams: thalweg elevation, cross section, roughness
distribution (from scaling laws)
- Reservoirs, diversions, irrigated areas, water rights
- Forcing: dynamically downscaled climate simulations
using Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model
using National
Hydrography Data
Set (NHD)
