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.
