Water Resources Database: Efficient Data Management Tool

Learn about the Water Resources Database (WRDB) developed by Dr. Chris Wilson at Clayton Engineering Inc. in 1994. WRDB supports large-scale data collection and model development for water resources, offering functions like data analysis, tracking, and quality assurance. Explore the database's concepts, support files, and user interface. Stay updated with the latest enhancements for improved functionality. Visit WRDB.com for more information.

  1. Water Resources Database(WRDB) Steven Davie Tetra Tech Inc. Chris Wilson Clayton Engineering

  2. History of WRDB • Developed by Dr. Chris Wilson at Clayton Engineering, Inc. • Database developed to support a large data collection effort and model development. • 1994, database to support Dr. Roy Burke at GAEPD on the Chattahoochee River Modeling Project. • Since 1994, numerous enhancements to support large state-wide datasets, model calibrations, and TMDL development. • Currently supporting version 4.4. • www.WRDB.com

  3. Purpose of WRDB • Developed to store water resources data. • Archival and transfer of data and modeling projects. • Allow for tracking (QA/QC) of all data. • Perform data analysis functions: • Summary statistics (7Q10 low flows, percentiles, etc) • Graphing (histograms, time series, longitudinal) • Water quality assessments (impairments) • Common database structure for data from various sources. • Use and/or export data for model calibration.

  4. Database Concepts • Why use a Database? • Why use a Relational Database? • Tables, Fields, and Records • Data Management • Storage • Retrieval • Analysis • Presentation

  5. WRDB Support Files • Stations • Station Groups • Branches • Parameter Codes (PCodes) • Parameter Code Groups • Compositing Codes (CCodes) • Database Batch Tracking • Quality Codes (QCodes)

  6. Demo: WRDB User Interface 1. The WRDB Interface • WRDB Functionality and Tools • Case Study – Flint Creek AL

  7. Location Maps

  8. Location Map

  9. Location of Stations in WRDB

  10. Recent Updates • High flow calculation for sediment transport (Q1.5). • Pollutant Loading Curve. • Enhanced Import Capabilities. • Import LSPC (watershed) model files. • Enhanced Graph package. • New versions will be posted on the Toolbox and WRDB websites.
