This workshop explores the use of Utility Network Analyst with the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) to improve waterflow analysis and network topology. Learn how to add NHD data, show flow direction, determine common ancestors, find connected flowlines, trace downstream, and more. Also, discover how to improve the NHD to local resolution by adding additional flowlines and aligning them with DOQQ imagery.
