RIAM allows full transparency of the decisions made in an EIA. RIAM provides a
holistic investigation covering four categories of environmental issues:
• physical and chemical issues
• biological and ecological issues
• sociological and cultural issues
• economic and operational issues
Most types of development will bring about a variety of changes to the socio-economic
environment in which it is set, of which some may impact negatively and others positively on
the surroundings. In addition, each negative impact may vary in the extent that it could be
mitigated, and each positive impact vary in the extent to which it can be enhanced. Many
minor changes need not necessarily cause concern unless they become cumulative or act in
synergy. Major changes are more important, but such large alterations of the status quo do
For the purpose of an environmental impact assessment, the impacts of the construction
phase (i.e. new infrastructure placed) should be considered as important, and in conjunction
with this, the immediate operational consequences that the development may have. Long
term negative operational impacts need to be analysed unless these are deemed to be
largely insignificant after screening.
In many studies where a number of options are considered, an effective and objective
comparative methodology is required that identifies an environmentally preferred option
or/and clears all options for development from an environmental perspective subject to the
mitigation of the identified issues. The RAIM methodology is introduced an explained below.
The value ascribed to each of these groups of criteria is determined by the use of a series of
simple formulae, which allow the scores for the individual components to be determined on a
defined basis. The scoring system requires the multiplication of scores for each of the
criteria. A multiplier needs to be used for group (A) as it immediately ensures that the weight
of each score is expressed and is thus less misleading than summation would be.
Scores for group (B) are added together to provide a sum to ensure that the individual value
scores cannot influence the overall score, but that the collective importance of all values of
Key
(A1) x (A2) = AT A1 and A2 are individual criteria scores from group A,
(B1) + (B2) + (B3) = BT B1, B2 and B3 are the individual criteria scores for group B
Environmental Criteria
The RIAM defines 5 criteria as the most fundamental assessment conditions for scoping
purposes. These key criteria are illustrated in the table that follows, together with their
corresponding assessment scores for a range of possible circumstances.
Environmental Components
The environmental components need to be defined for the particular study to best address
the most pertinent issues relevant to the project. For instance:
To make use of the RIAM evaluation system, a matrix is produced of the criteria used against
each of the identified components (issues), where the criteria scores are set and an ES
number is calculated from the formulae. This is then compared against the numerical range
bands in the table below to give a final Range Value (RV) that should give an indication of
the level of significance.
Note that impacts are assessed without any environmental management intervention (thus
prior to the application of any mitigation measures)

3.01 PREFACE
The Kampala District or Project Area is drained by eight major drainage systems as
shown in Figure 1 in Volume 6. The separate catchments of each drainage system
are shown on Figures 3 to 10 in Volume 6.
The inventories of field surveys of the major systems (ie primary and secondary
channels, and road and rail crossings) described in Chapter 5 of Volume 3 are
included in this section, together with photographs illustrating the conditions of the
channels.
The main river or stream of each drainage system is referred to as the primary
channel and all the tributaries (and sub-tributaries) as secondary channels. For
reference purposes, each primary channel carries the same number as the drainage
system. The numbers allocated to the secondary channels are shown in Figures 3 to
10 (Volume 6). Reference points where measurements were taken are numbered
numerically in an upstream direction, except for the Nakivubo Channel where the
reference points are indicated by chainages (or stations) similar to what was used in
the design of the upgradings. The locations of all these reference points are
indicated on the digital maps contained in Volume 6. Reference points where
measurements were taken are thus notated as follows:
a.b.c
where
a refers to the specific drainage system or primary channel shown in
Figure 1 in Volume 6 (eg for the Lubigi Drainage System a is 2 and for the
Gaba Drainage System a is 4A).
The following notations are used for the dimensional details of the channels and
road/rail crossings:
Separate inventories for each drainage system, together with typical photographs,
follow.

BLACK SPOTS
5.1 PREFACE
The inventories of previously identified black spots or problem areas included in this
section have been compiled from information and data provided by KCC, the five
Divisions and visual observations during rainfall storms. Most of the identified black
spots associated with the major systems are also covered in Section 3 of this
Volume, which lists the survey information and discharge capacities of all primary
and secondary channels, and of culvert crossings. The inventories contained in this
section should, therefore, be considered as a list of high priority black spots,
requiring immediate attention as part of the Short-term Action Plan (if possible).
Two main inventories are included; the first (5.2) listing the previously identified
black spots associated with the major systems (primary and secondary channels)
separately for four drainage systems in which black spots were identified and the
second (5.3) listing the previously identified black spots associated with the minor
systems (including roadside drainage) separately for each division.
The locations of these black spots are referenced to the digital maps contained in
Volume 6 with co-ordinates.
The required remedial measures for some of the black spots have been designed
and are being attended to under the current contract (Nakivubo Channel
Rehabilitation Project). These are indicated by “NCRP I” in the last column of the
inventories. The black spots not yet attended to (ie detail design), but proposed and
programmed by KCC for inclusion in the current contract are indicated by
“NCRP II”. The black spots not programmed yet are indicated by “NP”.

7.5 HYDRAULIC MODELING USING HEC-RAS 7.11
7.1 GENERAL
The methodology for floodplain delineation relies on Geographic Information System
(GIS) to extract the hydraulic geometry to be incorporated in the HEC-RAS (River
Analysis System of the Hydrologic Engineering Center, of the US Army Corps of
Engineers). The link between GIS software packages (such as ArcView developed
by ESRI) and the HEC-RAS is done through the ArcView extension GeoRAS, also
developed by HEC. HEC-GeoRAS is a set of procedures, tools, and utilities for
processing geo-spatial data in ArcView GIS for export to HEC-RAS (and subsequent
hydraulic modeling). In addition, HEC-GeoRAS provides the capabilities for
importing process simulation results from HEC-RAS back into ArcView GIS for
mapping purposes. Figure 7.1 depicts a flow diagram for the complete HEC-
GeoRAS process and presents a summary of methodology implemented in this
study. Table 7.1 explains the use of each software package used in this study.
As shown in the flow diagram (Figure 7.1), the first step is the Digital Terrain Model
(DTM) of the channels and their surrounding land surfaces, which is done on
ArcView software. Then the hydraulic information is extracted from the DTM through
GeoRAS in a GIS environment (preRAS), after which water surface profiles are
calculated in HEC-RAS. The output from HEC-RAS is exported back to GeoRAS for
the creation of floodlines (postRAS). In this chapter, the same methodology is
followed for the sake of clarity. However, as shown in Figure 7.1, this is more of an
iterative procedure, involving the number and accuracy of cross-sections, as well the
accuracy of the flood map.

The TINs are edited and cleaned to remove some of the edge triangles and vertices,
which are interpolated in areas with no level data. Flat triangles are removed
through TIN filtering and smoothing.
The ground model is then used to develop profiles and cross-sections along the
primary and secondary drainage channels using the preRAS component of
GeoRAS. Hydraulic modeling of channels is best accomplished using TINs, which
allow for a dense network of points where the land surface is complex and detailed,
eg with river channels, and for a lower point density in flat or gently sloping areas.
But first, a global overview is taken of the HEC-GeoRAS software.
7.4 HEC-GEORAS
The advantage of using GIS in hydraulic modeling its the potential for extracting
topographically correct cross-sectional data from a DTM that can be used to
determine river stage and floodplain extent, as calculated in hydraulic modeling
software packages. In 1997, data exchange modules were developed for HEC-RAS
to permit the transfer of physical element descriptions to GIS software.
The current version of HEC-GeoRAS creates an import file containing river, reach
and station identifiers; cross-sectional cut lines; cross-sectional surface lines; cross-
sectional bank stations; downstream reach lengths for the left overbank, main
channel, and right overbank; and cross-sectional roughness coefficients. Hydraulic
The HEC-GeoRAS menu options displayed at the top of the ArcView interface are
preRAS, postRAS, and GeoRAS_Util. The preRAS procedures of GeoRAS are
described first, followed by the postRAS procedures. A description of HEC-RAS
itself will follow in a subsequent section of this chapter.
(a) PreRAS
The HEC-GeoRAS preRAS menu, shown in Figure 7.2, is the ArcView GIS
interface for geometric data pre-processing and takes the user through the
steps necessary to create an export file for hydraulic modeling in HEC-RAS.
The geometric data necessary for hydraulic modeling in HEC-RAS is
developed from a DTM of the channel and surrounding land surface.
The first step in the preRAS methodology, as shown above, consists of the
creation of a series of two-dimensional line themes that represent particular
topographical elements of the stream network. The following themes are
created using existing ArcView GIS tools:
The river and reach network is represented by the Stream Centreline theme,
and is created on a reach-by-reach basis, starting from the upstream end and
working downstream, following the channel thalweg. The Stream Centreline
theme is used to assign river stationing for cross-sections and to display the
network as a schematic in the HEC-RAS Geometric editor. All river reaches
must be connected by junctions and must point downstream. Each river reach
must have a unique combination of its River Name (Stream ID) and Reach
Name (Reach ID). Stream centrelines should not intersect except at junctions.
In practice, the Create Stream Centreline menu item is used to create a new
editable shapefile (with a default name of Stream.shp). This is added to the
current view, where it can be manually entered and/or modified by the user.
After creating the river network, the user completes the Stream Centreline
theme by adding river and reach identifiers.
If the Stream Centreline theme already exists, the user may select this as the
main channel flowpath. Flowpaths must be created in the direction of flow.
Downstream reach lengths are calculated between cross-sectional cut lines
along the flowpath centrelines. The creation of a flowpath theme is also
optional.
The Create XS Cut Lines menu item is selected last and allows the user to
identify location, position, and extent for each cross-section. Create XS Cut
Lines produces an editable theme called Xscutlines.shp. While these cut lines
represent the planar location of the cross-sections, the station elevation data
is extracted along the cut line from the DTM. Cross-sectional cut lines must be
drawn from the left overbank to the right overbank (looking downstream), and
must cross each of the three flowpath lines and two bank station lines exactly
once. Cross-sectional cut lines should be drawn perpendicularly to the
direction of flow, and should not intersect.
There are three processes that take place once the appropriate themes have
been identified:
• centerline completion
• cross-section attributing
• cross-section elevations.
Each of the above can be accomplished in one step, but comprise several
algorithms that can be activated individually if so desired.
(b) PostRAS
HEC-GeoRAS was designed to integrate HEC-RAS hydraulic model output
into the GIS domain. While the previous section presented a methodology for
processing terrain data in GIS prior to hydraulic modeling in HEC-RAS, this
section describes the methodology for processing hydraulic modeling output in
GIS using HEC-GeoRAS once the hydraulic modeling is complete.
To import HEC-RAS data into GIS, the user must identify the export file and
specify the location for storing results in order to pre-process the raw data via
the HEC-GeoRAS PostRAS menu (Figure 7.3).
The Theme Setup menu item is selected first. This allows the user to specify
the RAS GIS export file, Terrain TIN, output directory, and rasterization cell
size. The first three items are self-explanatory, but selection of the
The stream network theme identifies the location of the stream centreline, as
represented in HEC-RAS, and contains the River and Reach names. The
cross-sectional cut line theme includes the stream, reach, and station
identifiers for each cross-sectional location, along with water surface
elevations for each flood event modeled. A 3D shapefile of cross-sections
containing attributes of the cross-sectional cut line theme is also created. A
line theme of bank station locations will also be created if bank station data is
available from HEC-RAS. Finally, a bounding polygon theme is created that
defines the HEC-RAS model extent, thereby limiting the edge of the water
surface to the end of each cross-section.
Water surface elevations are written to the RAS GIS Export File at each cross-
section for each flood event modeled. This water surface data is used in
conjunction with the terrain elevation data to create a water surface TIN using
the WS TIN menu item. In practice, this water surface TIN is compared to the
surrounding terrain TIN and, where the water surface elevations are greater
than the terrain, flooding occurs to a depth equal to the difference between the
two elevations (Figure 7.4).
The combination of extracting geometric data from GIS and traditional HEC-
RAS hydraulic modeling makes full use of the spatial capabilities of GIS and
ultimately provides an accurate floodplain model, given accurate terrain data.
The bridge routines in HEC-RAS allow the modeler to analyze a bridge using
several different methods without changing the bridge geometry. The bridge
During the course of a study, the modeler may want to formulate several
different plans. Each plan represents a specific set of geometric data and flow
data. Once the basic data is entered into the HEC-RAS, the modeler can
easily formulate new plans. After simulations have been made for the various
plans, the results can be compared in both tabular and graphic form.
The modeler develops the geometric data by first drawing in the river or
channel system on a reach-by-reach basis, from upstream to downstream in
the positive flow direction. As reaches are connected together, junctions are
automatically formed by the interface.
After the river or channel system schematic is drawn, the modeler can enter
cross-sectional and hydraulic structure data. Each cross-section has a Reach
name, a Station, and a Description. The Reach and river Station identifiers
are used to describe where the cross-section is located in the river system.
Once the cross-section data is entered, the modeler can add any hydraulic
structures, such as bridges, culverts, weirs and spillways. If there are any
stream junctions in the river or channel system, additional data is required for
each junction.
Several output features are available to review the model output. These
options include: cross-section plots; profile plots; rating curve plots; X-Y-Z
perspective plots; tabular output at specific locations; tabular output for many
locations; and a summary of errors, warnings, and notes.

in which
H is the energy head (m)
Z is the channel bed elevation (m)
Y is the flow depth (m)
V is the flow velocity (m/s)
α is the velocity weighting coefficient
V2/2g is the velocity head (m)
For a given water surface elevation, the mean velocity head is obtained by
computing a flow-weighted velocity head over the cross-section. Based on
channel geometry, channel contractions and expansions, and flow
obstructions from hydraulic structures in the floodway, the flow velocity can
vary from one end of the cross-section to another. The velocity-weighting
coefficient α accounts for the error in using the average velocity instead of a
velocity distribution. The magnitude of the velocity coefficient depends on the
type of channel. Typical values are shown in Table 7.2.
Based on the energy equation parameters shown in Figure 7.6, the water
surface elevation is the sum of Y and Z. The change in energy head between
adjacent cross-sections is equal to the head loss:
The previous parameters are incorporated in the GIS exported files to HEC-
RAS. The following parameters are still to be specified in HEC-RAS to run a
complete geometric description of the stream:
• Manning’s roughness coefficients
• channel contraction and expansion coefficients
• geometric description of any hydraulic structures, such as bridges,
culverts, and weirs.
