Problem Background

• Science, Monitoring and Data Management group
  responsible for evaluating existing County
  practices and providing science input to County
  policy making.
• Needs integrated modeling capability to support
  scientific investigations and planning efforts

Project Goal

• Provide a new capability for King County in which
  integrated modeling can be performed to provide
  scientific support for studies and planning and
  policy decisions
• Potential Applications
• Basin modeling demonstrating water
  quality/quantity under various climate conditions
• Basin modeling demonstrating water
  quality/quantity under various land cover
  conditions and population scenarios
• Development of resource protection policies
• Human and ecological risk modeling
• Model development for external clients

Implementation Objectives

• Integrate disparate set of computational models
  (land use, watershed, lake, river, and risk) to
  model water quantity and quality in Puget Sound
  region.
• Develop integrated suite of tools from problem
  conception, through data harvesting and modeling,
  to visualization/communication to support the
  needs of modelers, water quality planners, and
  natural resource management.
• Flexible/extensible not all models identified
  at this time (eg., estuary and economic)
• Transferable to other geographic domains
• Pedigree all components and data
• Enable users to integrate models/tools without
  programmer involvement
• Incorporate 3rd-party commercial off-the shelf
  software where feasible
• Data analysis visualization and Distributed
  computing
• Use participatory design process since potential
  users did not have a clear picture of their needs.

Models Selected by the County

• Land Cover Land Cover Change Model (Marina
  Alberti - UW)
• Watershed HSPF (EPA USGS)
• Lake Hydrodynamic CH3D (WES)
• Lake Water Quality CE-QUAL-ICM (WES)
• River CE Qual W2 (WES Portland State
  University)
• Ecological Risk Custom model from Toll
