Levels of Analysis:Relational Database Relational Linkages Spatial Attributes Water Right Locations Descriptive Attributes
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
Raster and Vector Data Raster data are described by a cell grid, one value per cell Vector Raster Point Line Zone of cells Polygon
How do we combine these data? Digital Elevation Models Streams Watersheds Waterbodies

What is Arc Hydro? • An data infrastructure for storing and integrating hydro data within ArcGIS • A set of hydro objects built on top of ArcObjects • A set of standardized attributes • A vocabulary for describing data (glossary) • A toolset for implementing the data model

Data Model Based on Inventory Streams Drainage Areas Hydrography Channels Terrain Surfaces Rainfall Response Digital Orthophotos
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.
Integrating Data Inventory using a Behavioral Model Relationships between objects linked by tracing path of water movement
