Refinements of a Data-Model for Watershed Water Budget Analysis

START DATE: 01-AUG-2001 

END DATE: 30-SEP-2005 

PROJECT NUMBER: 2454AAM 

STUDY OBJECTIVES:  

The overall objective of this project is to provide to the NJDEP a data model that can be used to develop a working database for various watershed planning, water supply planning and water management regulatory activities. 

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:  

As part of a water-use database project for the USGS Districts in New England, a data model and database were created to provide a tool to better evaluate the water use in the region. As a result of this work, the NJDEP is interested in modifying the New England data model to be used in developing a working database for water budgets analysis at the HUC 11 and possibly the HUC 14 level. 

STRATEGY AND APPROACH:  

The basis of this study is the data model developed for the USGS New England Districts' water-use inventory program. It is the intent of this study to: 

1. Review the New England model design for relevance. 
2. Add items needed for NJDEP purposes. 
3. Adjust field names where possible to match NJDEP fields. 
4. # Include tables containing classification/description terms provided by NJDEP. 
5. Adjust the model to handle all required changes.
