GIS Integration

GIS and imagery integration

The GLS Version 6 software presents a completely new simplified approach to storm water system modelling software where the model is embedded in our own powerful geographical information system (GIS)

• The power of GIS can now be applied to the engineering model, allowing the modeller to directly harness GIS tools when creating and editing datasets.
• From a network modelling perspective, spatial correlation can be used to extract text, such as pipe parameters from CAD or other GIS sources and apply it directly to elements of a storm water system model such as pipe conduits.
• Another example would be to select part of the model using a spatial query, then refine the selection using a SQL text query. Finally the resulting filtered dataset can be populated interactively with data. This works directly on the engineering model.
• The more advanced modeller can create extensive selection or update queries using SQL, and see the effect immediately rendered in the GIS based model
• Model tables are now dynamic, fast and practically unlimited in size. There are no more tabs on spreadsheet tables. The modeller can have multiple user customizable layouts with field groupings in colour.
• All model operations are now also fully undo-able.
• Imagery web services, such as from Google™, Mapbox™, Microsoft™ or OpenStreetMap are now available to load background imagery at the geographically correct coordinates.
• External CAD sources (for example AutoCAD™ DWG or DXF files) or GIS sources (for example ESRI™ Shape files or ESRI file or folder geodatabases) can be opened in HydroSWMM and then transformed into GIS-based models. After completing the analysis or design, these models can later be exported again as GIS datasets. Through Albion, access to server-based GIS resources stored on PostgreSQL or Microsoft™ SQLServer databases.

Overview

HydroSWMM Model Characteristics

• Seamless transition between integrated modules, e.g. CAD to GIS to Storm Water Model
• Synchronized GIS display, table input and property editing of any network element.
• Non network data in either CAD, GIS or Imagery format may also be displayed as background, e.g. basemap/stand and street views layouts.
• All pipe data required for modelling is included in the database, including extra fields for user attributes.
• Graphical display of results, through colour coding, arrows on pipes, different line thickness, different node sizes, graphs, etc is available.
• Graphical display is always geographically correct, and not schematic..

Simplified model building

Cross section editing

Version 6 simplifies the process of model building from a wide range of sources including as built drawings, CAD plans, GIS data sources, scanned images, schematic layouts, tabular spreadsheets or even hand drawings.

The process of adding model elements such as pipes with the minimum number of clicks has been at the forefront of the new design to minimize repetitive tasks for the modeller. Customizable presets simply data capturing.

Results Presentation

HydroSWMM provides for an extremely flexible query system in order to map data and results. For both links and nodes additional data can be included in user-fields. This allows for the inclusion of information pertaining to age, material and pressure classifications etc. of pipes, present and future allocation of stand numbers etc. to nodes, over and above the normally required data defining the component.

Link and node legends are always shown in the GIS layer manager, in which the colour coding parameters for any one of the link or node data fields can be specified, if a map is to be produced showing output data such as the flow velocities or energy gradients in the pipes, or residual pressure at nodes, with different colour coding and different line widths.

Text from the different fields can also be annotated on the links and nodes. Specific fields can be selectively annotated, e.g. the link # and pressure, or diameter.

A predefined list of themes simplify the result presentation.

Graphs

Hydrograph reporting Flood plain mapping

Graphs can be displayed for the results of any link or any node, for the entire analysis period.

Reports

The presentation of data in tables is done through live grids. Any changes made in a table automatically gets updated in the GIS map as well as in any open property boxes. Grids can be filtered and sorted and provide a very powerful view of large datasets

In addition many predefined SQL-based reports are available which can be run on the complete dataset or on only a selection.
