LWI Region 5 Mermentau Headwaters HEC-RAS Model

The Mermentau Headwaters Numerical Model (MHNM) is a HEC-RAS model developed as part of the LWI effort based on the Mermentau Headwaters (08080201) HUC8. The modeled watershed comprises about 1,400 square miles area in the western area of the LWI Region 5. Two main waterways, Bayou Nezpique and Bayou Plaquemine Brule joins to form the Mermentau River near the watershed outlet. The Bayou des Cannes joins the Bayou Plaquemine Brule just upstream of the start of the Mermentau River. The MH watershed extends from Highway 165 to the northwest, past Interstate 10 to the south near Mermentau, and near Highway 190 at Opelousas to the east, covering portions of the Evangeline, Acadia, Allen, and Jefferson Davis Parishes. The model hydrologic inputs includes: boundary inflow hydrographs, precipitation, variable downstream boundary condition, and wind. The model has been calibrated and validated using 4 tropical and 4 non-tropical events. The events are: Hurricanes Barry, Delta, Gustav, and Laura and the October 2015, Aug 2016, May2017, and May2020 nontropical events. The model was developed in HECRAS version 6.3.1.

LWI Region 5 Mermentau HEC-RAS Model

The Mermentau HUC8 Numerical Model (MENM) was a HEC-RAS model developed as part of the LWI effort based on the Mermentau (08080202) HUC8. The model extents include Bayou Queue de Tortue, the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway within the Mermentau Basin, Mermentau River, and coastline of Cameron and Vermillion Parishes. The total inflow to the Mermentau HUC8 is a combination of flow from Mermentau River and several bayous, including Bayou Lacassine, Bayou Grand Marais, Bayou Nezpique, Bayou des Cannes, Bayou Plaquemine Brule, and Bayou Queue de Tortue. The Mermentau River, downstream of the town of Mermentau, continues south and flows through Lake Arthur, Grand Lake, and Upper and Lower Mud Lakes before reaching its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 86 percent of the Mermentau HUC8 watershed, generally downstream of the Cameron Parish and Vermilion Parish boundary lines, is within the CPRA Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ). The model hydrologic inputs includes: boundary inflow hydrographs, precipitation, variable downstream boundary condition, and wind. The model calibration and validation uses 4 tropical and 4 non-tropical events, however, did not meet GMM calibration standards due to the lack of gage data. The events are: Hurricanes Barry, Gustav, Delta, and Laura and the October 2015, Aug 2016, May 2020 and May 2017 nontropical events. The model was developed in HECRAS version 6.4.1.

Amite Compound Flood Pilot LWI HEC-HMS model

This model is the calibrated hydrological HEC-HMS model for the Louisiana Watershed Inititative (LWI) pilot study conducted for quantifying compound flood hazard in regions near the coastline, where both riverine and coastal flood drivers are significant contributors to total flood hazard, known as the transition zone (TZ). The procedure to quantify compound flood hazard involves 1) developing numerical models capable of simulating rainfall-runoff and coastal hydrodynamic processes, 2) generating a set of tropical storms and non-tropical storms (i.e., all storm types other than tropical storms, which include extratropical cyclones, frontal storms, and convective storms) representative of compound flooding conditions in the basin(s) of interest, 3) simulating storms incorporating a range of compound flooding conditions using the numerical models, and 4) leveraging Joint Probability Method – Optimal Sampling (JPM-OS) and extreme value analysis (EVA) methods to assess water level recurrence intervals for tropical and non-tropical events respectively. The procedures documented within the LWI pilot study memoranda balance rigor with computational efficiency to produce a set of annual exceedance probability (AEP) water surface elevations within the basin(s) of interest. Once methods are finalized, water level AEPs and other model data could be used to inform planning and design activities in the coastal and compound flood transition zone. This LWI Amite Calibrated HEC-HMS Model is meant to address item 1) in the paragraph above for hydrological modeling. The outputs from this model are used in the LWI Amite HEC-RAS Model. The hydrologic and hydraulic model calibration and validation tests assessed model performance relative to observations from a suite of six storms: Hurricane Katrina (2005), Hurricane Gustav (2008), Hurricane Isaac (2012), Hurricane Barry (2019), and two non-tropical storms from March and August 2016, respectively. Performance was assessed using quantitative metrics including mean volume bias, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, and root-mean-square error (RMSE), as recommended by Moriasi et al. (2007).

Bayou D'Arbonne (AR) Louisiana Watershed Initiative (LWI) Models and Data

This package consolidates the HUC08040206 - Bayou D'Arbonne (AR) Louisiana Watershed Initiative modeling program and related data that was developed by Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI). For project planning and design, it is recomended to use the final LWI base models: "Bayou D'Arbonne - Design Storm Atlas 14 Everywhere HEC-RAS Model for Louisiana Watershed Initiative" and "Bayou D'Arbonne - Design Storm HEC-HMS Model for Louisiana Watershed Initiative." Within the HEC-RAS design storm model, final design storm plans are provided for the 35 design storm frequency (5-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, 100-year, 200-year, 500-year) and duration combinations (6-hr, 12-hr, 24-hr, 48-hr, 72-hr). The critical duration is 24-hr, and the associated plans are recommended for design. Results rasters are provided for each of the 24 hr event. These rasters were created by running the 24-hr event in HEC-RAS and exporting the WSE, Depth and Velocity rasters. The depth rasters created from the design storm models were used in the provided Go-Consequences consequence analyses. The Go-Consequences analysis was verified using select events in the consequence analysis software HEC-FIA; these results are also provided. Calibration and Validation models are provided in this package for reference. The modeled streams include: Bayou D'Arbonne, Middle Fork Bayou D'Arbonne, Corney Bayou, Cypress Creek, Little Corney, Beever Creek, Stowe Creek, Big Creek, Bayou Choudrant, Choudrant Creek, Fourmile Creek, Mill Creek, Colvin Creek. The terrain used for modeling primarily sources the 2021 Department of Transportation and Development LiDAR with bathymetry incorporated from surveys conducted by Nixon Engineering in 2021 and 2022. The model and terrain use the vertical datum NAVD88 and the State-Plane projection NAD 1983 (2011) State Plane Louisiana North FIPS 1701 (US Feet).
