DC StreamStats storm drain functionality and basin characteristics release
The MD-DE-DC Water Science Center has developed new storm drain functionality (and basin characteristics) for Washington, DC StreamStats in cooperation with the DC Department of Energy and Environment.
This project utilized 1-meter (high resolution) terrain products, which improves upon existing 10 meter resolution data products traditionally used in StreamStats. Following work completed for Boston’s Mystic River Basin, Washington, DC is the third jurisdiction to incorporate storm-drain-network data into StreamStats.
New basin characteristics incorporated into DC StreamStats are derived from 1-meter resolution tree canopy cover and impervious cover data, 1-meter resolution topography data, and updated 30-year normal precipitation data.
