Data Model Documents on Stream Hydrography

The research for the ArcGIS Hydro Data Model  identified several related data models for stream hydrography.  Documents provided by those organizations on the internet or directly to CRWR are included here for reference.

Resources on the Internet

General Internet Sites for Water Resources and GIS These are data and information sources that we've found useful in our research.

Sources of Spatial Hydrology Data These are specific sources of spatial data that are useful for building spatial hydrology databases. A description of the data sources is given, a link to the source is provided, and in some cases a procedure is provided for processing the data once they are downloaded so as to be able to convert the files into a usable form as part of an integrated spatial database.

Directory of CRWR Online Reports on this CD-ROM

This Digital Library contains links to internet data sources and the text of MS theses, PhD dissertations and some project reports produced as part of the GIS Hydrology Research Program at the University of Texas at Austin. In most cases, these reports are converted into Adobe Acrobat .pdf files which require a special reader to view them. This can be obtained on Internet from Adobe:

The Center for Research in Water Resources has an Online Research Report Series in which these documents are presented and it is in this form that many of them appear on this CD-ROM. The reports listed below, as well as other CRWR reports not related to GIS use, are available from the Online Research Report Series at CRWR.
