A Prototype Toolset for the ArcGIS Hydro Data Model

By Timothy Lee Whiteaker, M.S.E. and David R. Maidment

ABSTRACT

The incorporation of a COM-compliant design, object-oriented programming, and relational database technology into Geographic Information Systems has opened the door for the next generation of GIS-enabled hydrologic simulation models to be developed. The ArcGIS Hydro Data Model (Arc Hydro) helps to bridge the gap between GIS and computational models by facilitating the preparation of GIS data for model use. This thesis describes some approaches for developing a simulation model on top of Arc Hydro, discusses object-oriented programming concepts, and provides software construction guidelines. The result is a set of tools which operate on Arc Hydro in order to prepare GIS data for use in a simulation model.
