GIS for Surface Water: Using the National Hydrography Dataset
By Jeff Simley
Combining the ready-to-use National Hydrography Dataset with the ArcGIS platform, GIS for Surface Water: Using the National Hydrography Dataset helps scientists, managers, and students analyze the vital surface waters of the United States. The book explains how this database of the nation’s water resources was built and outlines how data about the waters—such as their chemistry and fish habitats—is linked to the database. GIS for Surface Water also shows how elevation data can be incorporated to produce watersheds at the micro and macro levels and reveals how this, along with climatic data, can lead to the creation of water flow and velocity estimates for every segment of the United States’ 7.5-million-mile drainage network. Drawing on user stories from experienced water analysts where relevant, the book demonstrates how ArcGIS technology can be applied to the database—and to the surface water systems of any nation.
