Figure 3.10 SchematicNetwork for Salado and Rosillo CreeksThe Arc Hydro SchematicNetwork (in Figure 3.10) composed of theSchematicLink and SchematicNode feature classes has been used to create arepresentation of hydrologic elements and its connectivity as it is defined insidethe HMS model itself. The equivalent topologies in Arc Hydro and HEC-HMSare shown in Figure 3.11. For Rosillo Creek, HEC-HMS has 35 hydrologicelements (17 subbasins, 9 reaches, and 9 junctions). Out of these 35 hydrologicelements, only 10 model features (1 subbasin and 9 Junctions) are being used asflow exchange points or streamflow entry points (RC1 RU, 01R CO, 02R CO,03R CO, 04R CO, 05R CO, 06R CO, 07R CO, 08R CO, and 09R CO).46
Figure 3.11 Geographic and Hydrologic CorrespondenceIn the case of HEC-RAS, the spatial cross section elements have ageographic representation <strong>by</strong> the cross sections of the channel which is also astandard Arc Hydro feature class. All the model-specific feature classes neededfor integration are already present in the Arc Hydro data model and can be used tosupport the spatial linkage between HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS. Figure 3.12 showsthe equivalent representation between Arc Hydro and HEC-RAS.47
