2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 GEO-STORM: A Tool for Floodplain and Watershed Management Track: Water Resources Author(s): Catherine Adams Prince George's County, Maryland provides floodplain studies for developers, engineers, and private citizens, as well as conducts studies for FEMA funded watershed and floodplain delineation projects. Geo-STORM is a tool that combines GIS with Hydrologic Models (TR-55 and TR-20) and Hydraulic Model (HEC-2) to complete floodplain and watershed management studies. Geo-STORM incorporates GIS functionality with the models reducing the time needed to complete the studies. Some of the capabilities include: automatic calculations of drainage area, runoff curve numbers, flow path and regimes (sheet, shallow concentrated, or channel flow), and water surface elevations enabling automatic delineation of the floodplain.
