  7. GIS in Water Resources: Lecture 1 • In-class and distance learning • Geospatial database of hydrologic features • ArcGIS Hydro data model • Curved earth and a flat map

  8. Geospatial Database

  9. Levels of Analysis:Relational Database Relational Linkages Spatial Attributes Water Right Locations Descriptive Attributes

  10. Spatial Data: Vector format Vector data are defined spatially: (x1,y1) Point - a pair of x and y coordinates vertex Line - a sequence of points Node Polygon - a closed set of lines

  11. Raster and Vector Data Raster data are described by a cell grid, one value per cell Vector Raster Point Line Zone of cells Polygon

  12. National Hydro Data Programshttp://www.crwr.utexas.edu/giswr/nhdconf/nationalhydro.html National Elevation Dataset (NED) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) Elevation Derivatives for National Applications (EDNA) Watershed Boundary Dataset

  13. How do we combine these data? Digital Elevation Models Streams Watersheds Waterbodies

  14. An integrated raster-vector database

  15. GIS in Water Resources: Lecture 1 • In-class and distance learning • Geospatial database of hydrologic features • ArcGIS Hydro data model • Curved earth and a flat map

  16. ArcGIS HydroData Model Hydrology Hydrography

  17. Flow Time Time Series ArcGIS Hydro Data Model Network Drainage HydroFeatures Hydrography Channel

  18. Data Model Based on Inventory NHD Points Make an inventory of all features of a given type in the region NHD Lines NHD Areas Gages What is it? Where is it? Dams Bridges

  19. Data Model Based on Behavior Follow a drop of water from where it falls on the land, to the stream, and all the way to the ocean.

  20. Integrating Data Inventory using a Behavioral Model Relationships between objects linked by tracing path of water movement

  21. Open Architecture for Water Modeling Interface 1 ArcGIS Interface 2 HydroModel Process Engines Temporal Data Geospatial data Interface 4 Custom-designed Interface 3 Excel

  22. TIWSSTexas Integrated Water Simulation System WRAP Water Availability SWAT Water Quality Arc Hydro Geospatial and Temporal Data Modflow Groundwater HEC Models Flooding & Water Management

  23. GIS in Water Resources: Lecture 1 • In-class and distance learning • Geospatial database of hydrologic features • ArcGIS Hydro data model • Curved earth and a flat map

  24. Origin of Geographic Coordinates Equator (0,0) Prime Meridian

  25. Latitude and Longitude Longitude line (Meridian) N W E S Range: 180ºW - 0º - 180ºE Latitude line (Parallel) N W E S (0ºN, 0ºE) Equator, Prime Meridian Range: 90ºS - 0º - 90ºN

  26. Latitude and Longitude in North America Austin: (30°N, 98°W) Logan: (42°N, 112°W) 60 N 30 N 60 W 120 W 90 W 0 N

  27. Map Projection Flat Map Cartesian coordinates: x,y (Easting & Northing) Curved Earth Geographic coordinates: f, l (Latitude & Longitude)

  28. Representative Fraction Globe distanceEarth distance = Earth to Globe to Map Map Projection: Map Scale: Scale Factor Map distanceGlobe distance = (e.g. 0.9996) (e.g. 1:24,000)

  29. Coordinate System A planar coordinate system is defined by a pair of orthogonal (x,y) axes drawn through an origin Y X Origin (xo,yo) (fo,lo)
