Location: Agroclimate and Hydraulics Research Unit
Project Number: 3070-13000-014-013-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2023
End Date: Jul 31, 2025
Objective:
The objective of this project are to develop new modules, validate, and /or maintain of Sites (Water Resources Site Analysis Program), WinDAM (Windows Dam Analysis Modules, WinTR-20 (Windows Technical Release 20), WinTR-55 (Windows Technical Release 55), and EFH-2 (Engineering Field Handbook Chapter 2) Tool. Specifically, the following objectives are to be met: 1) help set framework for WinDAM D and WinDAM E, 2) continue support for present software SITES and WinDAM C, 3) continue to support WinTR-20, EFH-2, WinTR-55, and other associated programs as identified, and 4) support development of WinDAM training materials and revised guidance documents as needed.
Approach:
A team of ARS engineers and scientists, NRCS engineers, and cooperators are needed to accomplish these objectives. This team will be responsible for 1) helping set framework for WinDAM D and WinDAM E, 2) continuing support for present software SITES and WinDAM C, 3) continuing to support WinTR-20, EFH-2, WinTR-55, and other associated programs as identified, and 4) supporting development of WinDAM training materials and revised guidance documents as needed. The team will meet virtually and/or in-person for regularly scheduled meetings to discuss progress and identified bugs in the software tools that need to be addressed by the cooperator. The team will stay abreast of current needs of NRCS engineers as well as other identified stakeholders using the software. More details to the objectives and approach are provided in the supporting documentation provided.
