¿Alguien ha utilizado la herramienta stream order spatial analyst para la red de alcantarillado?

Question

<\/HEAD>Estoy trabajando en un proyecto de análisis de alcantarillado para la escuela\/trabajo y estoy intentando ordenar la red de alcantarillado usando la herramienta stream order networking pero estoy obteniendo resultados muy confusos. Puedo crear una cuadrícula raster para la red de alcantarillado; sin embargo, no puedo crear un raster de dirección de flujo preciso. Los valores para la dirección del flujo no tienen sentido para mí. Tengo algunas capturas de pantalla a continuación que muestran los resultados.<\/P> <\/P> Si alguien tiene experiencia con estas herramientas y puede proporcionar algún comentario, sería muy apreciado. <\/P> <\/P> <\/P> <\/P> <\/P> <\/P> <\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

You might be able to use the Summary Flow Accumulation tool on the Water Utility Network Reporting toolbar to get at the answer.  Requires your data to be in a geometric network.  You could use it sum the number of upstream manholes for each pipe and use that a proxy or if you have customer connections you could assign a weight to each connection and accumulate that for each upstream pipe. Water Utility Network Reporting toolbar - Water Utility Network Editing and Analysis | ArcGIS Solutions for Water

Howard,

Thank you for your reply. I currently have a vector sewer network, but I am trying to identify the pipes in the system as first, second, third-order pipes. I have data from our hydraulic sewer model, which shows flow data, but I want to be able also to see which pipe segments have "upstream branches" and how many branches are upstream.

I haven't been able to find a vector stream ordering tool so I was trying to see if I could convert the vectors into rasters and use the tools, but no luck.

Thanks,

Eric

Not sure exactly what your project is, but the hydrology tools like Stream Order and Flow Direction are used to analyze surface flow across a continuous surface, like a DEM.  So those tools are typically used for surface water, not for pipes.

The first bullet point under Usage sounds like the results you are experiencing if you turned your pipes into a raster - Stream Order—Help | ArcGIS Desktop

Most organizations represent their sewer system using vector data (typically a network) and use that vector data to perform analysis.
