Abstract

Surface Water Modeling with LiDAR, GIS & ICPR Technologies
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Keanan Bell

In 2014, Florida's Suwannee River Water Management District requested a series of surface water model simulations that cover the greater Mallory Swamp area as part of a hydrologic restoration initiative. This is a case study on the use of LiDAR, GIS and ICPR technologies to model existing conditions as well as the effect of proposed water control structures in the area and determine if these changes may have the intended result of rehydrating natural systems and augmenting groundwater supplies.
