<strong>LiDAR</strong> USERS <strong>in</strong> <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
• Most users want X,Y,Z data for CAD<br />
– IDOT and County eng<strong>in</strong>eers<br />
– NRCS and IDALS conservation technicians<br />
– IDNR land acquisition and eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Put XYZ data on public server (2x2 km tiles)<br />
http://www.geotree.uni.edu/lidarProject.aspx<br />
• GIS users want various products: DEMs,<br />
contours, slopes, shaded relief, structures<br />
and vegetation<br />

1. Acquire data from Geotree xyz ascii or LAS<br />
b<strong>in</strong>ary http://www.geotree.uni.edu/lidarProject.aspx<br />
2. Use free software to look at and extract bare<br />
earth from LAS files<br />
3. Use Corpscon to convert coord<strong>in</strong>ate system from<br />
UTM to state plane<br />
4. Import <strong>in</strong>to Autocad<br />

2 nd Generation Derivatives<br />
• 3 meter DEM (mean of 3x3 1m grid cells) –<br />
height <strong>in</strong> cm – each cell stored as 16 bit<br />
<strong>in</strong>teger<br />
• 1 meter hillshade – <strong>in</strong> JPEG2000 format<br />
• 2’ contours – derived from 3 m DEM<br />
• Typical county – 436 MB + 301 MB + 403MB<br />
= 1.14 GB<br />

Response to 2008 Floods<br />
– <strong>Iowa</strong> Department of Economic<br />
Development disburses $15 million <strong>in</strong><br />
CDBG disaster recovery funds for the<br />
purpose of develop<strong>in</strong>g new floodpla<strong>in</strong><br />
maps and updat<strong>in</strong>g and improv<strong>in</strong>g exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
floodpla<strong>in</strong> maps <strong>in</strong> the 85 Presidentially-<br />
Declared Disaster counties due to the<br />
Flood of 2008. ($150k / County)<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> Geological Survey
Where can the money be spent?<br />
• $15M HUD CDBG grant<br />
• Adm<strong>in</strong>istered by <strong>Iowa</strong> DED<br />
and DNR<br />
• Supports floodpla<strong>in</strong> mapp<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong> the 85 counties declared<br />
federal disaster areas<br />
• “…to produce floodpla<strong>in</strong><br />
maps that meet FEMA<br />
technical standards and can<br />
be published as Digital Flood<br />
Insurance Rate Maps<br />
(DFIRMs).”<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> Geological Survey
• Calculate annual recurrence<br />
stream discharges<br />
• Calculations are based upon DNR<br />
statewide <strong>LiDAR</strong> dataset<br />
• <strong>LiDAR</strong> data are used to create a 3-<br />
meter-resolution digital elevation<br />
model (DEM)<br />
• DEM is processed to determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />
flow direction and accumulation on<br />
the land surface<br />
• Discharge Calculations<br />
– 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-,<br />
and 500-year flows<br />
– Based upon stream gage<br />
statistical analyses & s<strong>in</strong>gleparameter<br />
USGS regional<br />
regression equations<br />
Hydrologic Analysis<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> Geological Survey
Hydraulic Analysis<br />
• Calculate water surface<br />
elevations for flows determ<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
from hydrologic analysis<br />
• Based upon capacity of the<br />
channel and floodpla<strong>in</strong> to convey<br />
flood waters<br />
• HEC-RAS Hydraulic model<br />
– Developed us<strong>in</strong>g HEC-GeoRAS<br />
tools <strong>in</strong> ArcGIS software<br />
– 1-meter resolution DEM is used<br />
to more accurately depict<br />
channel and floodpla<strong>in</strong> features<br />
measured by <strong>LiDAR</strong><br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> Geological Survey
Floodpla<strong>in</strong> Mapp<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• Hydraulic model results are<br />
<strong>in</strong>tersected with the 1-meter<br />
DEM to calculate flood<br />
depths and <strong>in</strong>undation<br />
extents<br />
• Work maps are created <strong>in</strong><br />
ArcGIS for submission to<br />
FEMA<br />
