 The GeoTREE Center provided a one day training on August 11 for the City of Dubuque Engineering and Dubuque Soil and Water Conservation personnel in the use of the ARCSLAMM-WinSLAMM coupled urban stormwater modeling system. The GeoTREE Center had created a comprehensive spatial database for the urban area of the Catfish Creek Watershed. The workshop demonstrated the use of these data for modeling urban stormwater runoff and pollution using the popular model WinSLAMM and the free ArcGIS toolbox ArcSLAMM. ArcSLAMM was developed by the GeoTREE Center as part of an Iowa Water Center funded project. Students Alex Newkirk and Jonathan Beavers were instrumental in database creation and workshop preparation.
