  3. With Web Services download the DEM (10 meter cell size recommended) and Topo map (aerial photograph too if desired)
    1. Try to get the land use and soils data from the web services as well. They are currently on the Aquaveo server and there is not an intent to remove them but not a guarantee the will stay.
    2. Download the land use file(s) from http://www.webgis.com/
    3. Ask for the Ssurgo data and get an email with an ftp from: http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/

Louisiana DOTD Models Using the USGS Method

USGS Project

  1. Using the WMS Wizard set the project coordinate system to UTM, NAD83, Zone 15
  2. With the Microsoft Virtual Earth Utility identify the study area – make sure it is "bigger" than the study area
  3. With Web Services download the DEM (1 arc Second recommended for larger areas) and Topo map (aerial photograph too if desired)
    1. If there are problems with the topo map, go to http://atlas.lsu.edu/ and navigate to download the DRG Files
    2. For the DEM, go to http://nationalmap.gov/viewer.html
    3. The Land Use and Soils files shouldn't be necessary for these projects because they do not require to compute CN, but if wanting to run HMS or something else then refer to the SCS document to process the land use and soils files
  4. Delineate the watershed
    1. Before delineating turn on the Create TC Coverage option
    2. Set the Accumulation Threshold to 1-3 sq. miles
  5. Clean up the model
    1. Turn off the Model Checker if desired
  6. Exit the wizard and identify the data necessary to run the model.
  7. Use the Maximum Flow Slope *5280 to get feet/mile
  8. Save the WMS Project.
  9. Open the Louisiana Mean Annual Rainfall .wms file file and determine the Mean Annual Rainfall.
  10. Run the model with the standard LADOTD program.
