Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling Support with Geographic Information Systems
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
By utilizing geographic information systems (GIS), scientists can now make better models to study how water behaves. The papers included in this book were among those presented at a recent ESRI International User Conference on hydrologic and hydraulic water quantity modeling support using GIS. The techniques presented in these models apply to any hydrologic or hydraulic model that requires spatial input or that produces spatial output. Applications such as watershed delineation, topographic characteristic extraction, floodplain extent determination, and others provide an informed basis for sound decision making for water source professionals.
