2-1- DFW MAJOR RIVER BASINS

The map illustrates significant river basins and their subbasins in the DFW area. The Trinity Basin is the largest river basin whose watershed site is entirely within the State of Texas and the third largest river in Texas by average flow volume. The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is in the upper basin. From its Elm and West Forks near Dallas’s confluence, the Trinity River flows to Trinity Bay, which drains to the Gulf of Mexico. Smaller streams within the basin include the Clear, East, Elm, and West Forks of the Trinity River and Cedar, Chambers, and Richland creeks.

2-2-DFW FLOOD ZONES

Flood zones are geographic areas that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has defined according to varying flood risk levels. These zones are depicted on a community’s Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood Hazard Boundary Map. Each zone reflects the severity or type of flooding in the area. Moderate to low-risk areas is the space between the limits of the 100‐year and 500-year floods. These are used to designate base floodplains of lesser hazards, such as areas protected by levees from100 year flood, shallow flooding areas with average depths of less than one foot, or drainage areas less than 1square mile.

High-risk areas are areas with a 1% annual chance of flooding. There are some high-risk areas where the base flood elevations (BFE) are provided, and some places where detailed analyses are not, and depths or base flood elevation are not shown. There is a “Regulatory Floodway,” which is the channel of a river or other watercourse. The adjacent land areas are reserved to discharge the base flood without increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height. Communities must regulate development in these zones to ensure that there are no increases in upstream flood elevations. The map covers both moderate to low risk and high-risk areas in the DFW. It could help regulate the future development of watershed areas and better manage the metroplex water systems. The data is attained from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website. (https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home, Retrieved Jun 2019). The overlay of map 2-2 onto map 2-1 shows the spatial relationship between flood zones and the major basins in which they reside.

5-1- DFW COUNTIES WATER USE 2015

The USGS’s National Water-Use Information Program compiles and publishes the Nation’s water-use data. Water use refers to water that is used for specific purposes. Water-use data is collected by area type (State, county, watershed, or aquifer) and sources such as rivers or groundwater, and categories such as public supply or irrigation. Water-use data has been reported every five years since 1950, for years ending in “0” and “5”. Annual water-use data are expressed in units of million gallons per day (abbreviated as Mgal/d). The map shows 2015 water use in DFW counties, which darker shades indicate a higher level of water use.

The data is derived from USGS Water Data for the Nation website. (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/water_use/, Retrieved August 2019)

5-2- DFW WATER WITHDRAWAL CATEGORIES 2015

USGS has lumped water withdrawals into broad categories: public supply, domestic, industrial, thermoelectric, irrigation, mining, aquaculture, and livestock. Pie charts visualize each county’s water use categories based on USGS Water Data 2015.

4-2- DFW DOMINANT ETHNIC/RACIAL GROUPS 2017

The DFW area is a multi-racial and multi-ethnic region. This map visualizes the dominant ethnic/racial group in each census tract. We categorize the DFW population into five groups: Not Hispanic White, Not Hispanic, African American, Not Hispanic, Native American, Not Hispanic, Asian, and Hispanic. The data is attained from U.S. Census American Community Fact Finder for DFW census tracts in 2017.

The overlay of maps 4-2 onto map 4-1 shows the spatial relationship between income distribution and the dominant ethnic group in each census tract.

4-1- DFW MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME 2017

This pair of maps can be named a Justice map that visualizes race and income data for the DFW area. Income distribution map describes a household’s economic status to track economic trends in the area. It is showing census tracts’ median income in 2017 inflation-adjusted dollars. The median income is the amount that divides the income distribution into two equal groups, half having income above that amount, and half having income below that amount and is obtained from the U.S. census website for each census tracts. Pale colors show lower-income, and darker greens show higher income levels.

3-1- DFW POPULATION 2017

This map shows population distribution in different census tracts within the DFW area. It helps to see where the site is most and least crowded. We used the 2017 American Community Survey Demographic data for DFW census tracts population, which is freely available at the U.S. Census website (https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml, Retrieved July 2019). The last version of census tracts (2010) spatial data is attained from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) website. (http://datanctcoggis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/2010-census-tracts Retrieved July 2019)

The map is presented as a choropleth map in which areas are shaded in proportion to the population variable’s measurement. The equal interval classification method is used, and data is classified into nine classes, from less than 2500 people to more than 20,000 people in each census tract within the area.

3-2- DFW POPULATION GROWTH 2010-2017

The map illustrates population change for DFW census tracts between 2010 and 2017. It shows where DFW is growing and shrinking. On the map, darker oranges mean that there was more growth and darker blues suggest that there was a decline. The population change is calculated by subtracting the 2010 population from the 2017 population and dividing that number by the 2010 value. It is shown in percentage, which is easier to interpret. The tabular data of the 2010 & 2017 population is attained from the U.S. census website.

The overlay of map 3-2 onto map 3-1 shows the spatial relationship between population change and the population density.
