Introduction • Study Area & Focus Area • NHD Workspaces • The Append Aml • Linear Referencing • Summary
Study Area: The Trinity River Basin Focus Area

The Append Aml • What is Aml? • Arc Marco Language • What is the purpose of the Append Aml? • Integration of Adjacent NHD Workspaces • Removal of Duplicate Information
The Append Aml • How do we use Append? • Verify Data has been unzipped correctly • Use the program &run append_nhd area_test batch huc_input.txt
Append Results Is there a difference between Appended Networks and Unappended Networks?
Linear Addressing • Types of General Linear Addressing • Absolute Addressing • Relative Addressing • Linear Addressing on the NHD • 3 Route systems but only 1 Linear Referencing system Reach Routes
Where are we on the River? • Use the Editor toolbar in ArcInfo 8.1 • Click on the desired reach and right click onto Properties
Where are we on the River? • Decide on which points to reference. • Create a table in ArcCatolog for the points. • In ArcMap enter in m-values already found using the Editor. • Create an Event Table and Display the Route Events
Example Results on the Trinity The Route Events are located at the same measures as the Originals.
Summary • Successfully implemented the Append Aml on the focus area of the NHD. • Compared Appended and Unappended Networks. • Explored Linear Addressing on the NHD. • Verified a methodology to create Route Events from the NHD point Coverage.
