What Makes Arc Hydro different? ArcGIS: All features are labeled with a unique ObjectID within a feature layer Arc Hydro: All features are labeled with a unique HydroID across the geodatabase HydroID to …. IDRelationships link neighboring features and help to trace water movement Arc Hydro is a unique “flavor” or style of doing GIS Pre Conference Seminar
What Makes Arc Hydro different? Arc Hydro connects space and time: HydroFeatures are linked to time series Flow HydroID Time FeatureID Time Series HydroFeatures Pre Conference Seminar
Challenges in developing Arc Hydro • ArcGIS is a very successful static, 2D or 2.5D system • For surface water resources we need • Close connection between raster terrain and vector stream data • Linkage to time varying water data observations stored at gages • Access to precipitation and evaporation data “fields” • For groundwater resources we need • 3D representation of boreholes and hydrogeologic units • Integration with groundwater models, especially Modflow, which has become the ArcInfo of groundwater Pre Conference Seminar
