Kellan R. Strauch
Kellan Strauch is a Hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey Nebraska Water Science Center in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Kellan began working with the USGS Nebraska Water Science Center as student in December of 2002, he became a full-time employee after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering in December of 2006 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Kellan has worked on several projects during his career with the USGS including hydrologic, hydraulic, and sediment transport analysis and modeling, flood inundation mapping, flood-frequency and streamflow trends analysis, bathymetric and topographic surveys, indirect measurement of streamflow discharge, post-flood high water mark documentation, potentiometric-surface aquifer mapping, and green infrastructure water balance monitoring.

Delineation of Areas Potentially Drained by Tile Drains and Updating of Streamflow-Trend Statistics from the Elkhorn River Basin in Eastern Nebraska
Water resource sustainability in the Elkhorn River Basin, Nebraska is a critical issue. Understanding streamflow trends is important to the determination of sustainable surface water and groundwater in the basin. The Lower Elkhorn and Upper Elkhorn Natural Resources Districts and the USGS cooperatively studied trends in streamflow characteristics of sites in the Elkhorn River, Salt Creek, and...
Bioretention Cell Monitoring, Douglas County, Nebraska
USGS Nebraska Water Science Center hydrologists, in cooperation with Douglas County, Nebraska, are monitoring the performance of stormwater bioretention cells that use “green” infrastructure techniques in Omaha, Nebraska. Bioretention cells are used to reduce the quantity of stormwater that flows into a combined sewer overflow (CSO) system which reduces discharge of raw sewage into local streams...
Flood Inundation Mapping
Flood inundation maps are a sequence of maps which show where flooding may occur at different stream levels. These maps can help communities prepare for, understand, and mitigate flood risks in their area.
Bioretention Cell Monitoring, Omaha Sewer Maintenance Facility
Stormwater management methodologies are shifting from the traditional storm sewer to a more green-infrastructure approach that stresses the importance of capturing, retaining and treating stormwater. The implementation of green infrastructure uses various Best Management Practices (BMPs) to mitigate the effects of stormwater on flooding and water quality. A bioretention cell is a BMP that captures...
