A new feature of GSSHA 2.0 is the ability to simulate lakes and wetland areas. By attenuating and storing the incoming flow, lakes and wetlands prove to be important hydrologic features of a basin and dramatically alter the response of a watershed to a precipitation event. Both in-stream and out-of-stream lakes and wetland areas can be simulated. Lakes and wetlands are conceptually modeled in WMS as polygons in the GSSHA coverage.
GSSHA Polygon Type
Generic
Generic polygons have no attributes.
Boundary
Boundary polygons are used to define the perimeter of the watershed and are used for creating grids from an already known watershed boundary.
Lake
Lake polygons are used to define cells within a grid used to simulate lakes during a GSSHA simulation. Initial leakage discharge, spillway crest width, discharge coefficient, initial water elevation and crest elevation must be defined for each lake.
Wetland
Wetland polygons define the cells that form part of a wetland. Five parameters must be specified for each wetlands area, retention depth, hydraulic conductivity, retention depth hydraulic conductivity, maximum storage depth, and the base elevation
Depression Mask
Depression mask polygons mask cells contained within the polygon. The elevations of the cells located inside a depression mask polygon are not altered when the CleanDam program is run from WMS.
