This week we were able to
delinate the watershed above Los Quemados. Justin put togther the
Curve Number mapping table, and now we have the basin delineated with
the curve numbers. We still need to identify the structures in
WMS so that we can run HEC-RAS above each structure. We continued
work on the presentation poster. We still need to find out
the poster dimensions.

We received several more items
from our team members; shape files for reservoirs, rivers, and soils
data.
Last week we had a video
conference with our correspondents in the Dominican Republic. Dr.
Nelson spoke in the beginning about what data is needed by the majority
of the teams. Nathan communicated our understanding of the
project and Dr. Nelson helped to communicate and ask them what it is
that they want us to analyze. They expressed the fact that they want us
to do an analysis of a potential site for a dam. We need to figure out
how big the dam would need to be to prevent flooding.

This week most of our time
was spent working on the "Scope of Work"
document. While writing this document we discovered we have several
questions about what exactly they are wanting us to do. We initially
thought we would create an HMS model in order to predict how much
flooding would occur from specific rainfall event.

This week we spent
some time working on the "Scope of Work" document. We also worked on
delineating the watershed based by using the 90m DEM that was sent to
us by our teammates in the Dominican Republic.
January 21st, 2011
We got a response from our
teammates expressing their pleasure to be working with us as well.
They provided a list of watershed data that they have collected
that will be useful in the design of the watershed model.

An email was sent to our team
members in the Domincan Reupblic introducing ourselves. We expressed
our excitement to be working on the Los Quemados project.
