Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy Supporting the Department of Homeland Security Motivation The DSS-WISE Project was motivated by the scientific and technological gaps identified in the current practice of flood simulation and damage analysis. The current practice relies mostly on one-dimensional flood simulations that cannot provide an accurate, time-dependent spatial evolution of the highly transient catastrophic floods resulting from failure of critical water infrastructures (dam/levee break/breaching), and may even yield erroneous results over flat terrains. The WGFEM Project was motivated by the lack of an extremely fast two- dimensional model that can be used for operational modeling purposes during flood emergencies.

Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy Supporting the Department of Homeland Security Objectives 1)To develop a state-of-the-art, two-dimensional numerical model to simulate the spatiotemporal evolution (water depths, velocity vectors, flood arrival and receding times) of catastrophic floods due to failure of water infrastructures (dams, levees, etc.); 2)To develop a comprehensive set of GIS-based scenario-evaluation and decision-making tools that will be integrated as a decision support system (DSS). This integrated system will be developed for use by homeland security personnel, and engineers of state and federal agencies, to assess the risk and vulnerability of high risk water infrastructures, in relation with threats due to natural causes or terrorist attacks, by taking into account considerations of uncertainty, to prepare Emergency Action Plans (EAPs), to track cascading and escalating failures, and to plan for emergency response planning.

Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy Supporting the Department of Homeland Security Achievements of the DSS-WISE and WGFEM Projects During the first two phases of the project, the DSS-WISE software package was developed from merely a concept into a powerful a GIS-based integrated flood modeling and simulation and consequence analysis tool, which provides numerous capabilities that are not offered by any other software packages. The DSS-WISE has three principal modules: A GIS-based preprocessor and Graphical User Interface (GUI) for problem setup and input data preparation. This powerful module allows the user to prepare and launch simulations in an extremely user-friendly environment, while allowing the user to tap into all the capabilities offered by ArcGIS. Additional modules help the user to estimate bottom topography of a reservoir or a lake, and to remove unwanted obstacles from DEMs. A two-dimensional numerical model, called CCHE2D-FLOOD, that solves a conservative form of shallow water equations using a robust, shock capturing first order finite-volume scheme that can handle mixed flow regimes and wetting and drying, A GIS-based post processor with modules for flood mapping, flood danger mapping for humans, vehicles and buildings, potential loss-of-life (modified USBR method), urban and agricultural damage (USDA-NRCS methodology) by interfacing simulation results with various GIS shape layers and socioeconomic data. The post processor has also a Spatial Compromise Programming unit that allows ranking of flood protection variants using a multi-criteria decision making method that takes into account the spatial variability of advantages and disadvantages.

Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy Supporting the Department of Homeland Security Fact Sheet To help Pakistani authorities cope, a new computer model, developed under funding provided by the Department of Ho- meland Securitys (DHSs) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), is being used by hydraulic engineers at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)Engineering Research and De-velopment Center (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) and forwarded to their counterparts in Pakistan. The new computer model simulates the flooding, estimates the total drawdown of the floodwaters, and predicts how long it will take the waters to recede. DSS-WISE (Decision Support SystemWater Infrastructure Security) incorporates and integrates thousands of data points from historical, geographical, economical, and satellite informationand paints a current picture and prediction scenario to help with Pakistans disaster relief efforts. Pakistans flood disaster has given a demanding workout to DSS-WISE, says SERRI program manager Mike Matthews, but the software has proven it can provide accurate and timely predictions, even under very challenging modeling requirements.

Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy Supporting the Department of Homeland Security Scope of DSS-WISE Phase 3 Project The focus in Phase 3 shall be placed on bringing these flood simulation and modeling tools (FSMT) to a sufficient level of maturity for accreditation and possible commercialization. This will be achieved by improving and refining the numerical simulation models with the implementation of additional capabilities, as well as by custom tailoring them to suit the needs and working habits of the end users. As TRL 6 or higher require demonstration of the research results and the capabilities of the tools in a realistic environment close to operational conditions, special emphasis is being given to test the model using real-life flood analysis problems with complete data sets. In addition, an experimental study will be carried out to produce data that can be used to verify, validate and improve both DSS-WISE and WGFEM numerical codes.
