Geo-enabled Water Resources
Modeling:
The Next Generation
A review is made of current trends in geospatial water
resources modeling, which give a view on emerging technologies
expected to become more widespread in coming years. Two
themes are emphasized:
- Building water resources models within a GIS framework
á integrating environmental and process descriptions of
the landscape
- Stronger integration of geospatial and temporal data
á the development of dynamic mapping
Data structures being used for the ArcGIS Hydro data model
are used to explain how the next generation of GIS technology
can support water resource process represetations as well
as geospatial and temporal water resources data. An example
of data collection from the Klamath River in Oregon and
California is used to show how new technologies of water
resources measurement can be combined with GIS and modeling
to create precise descriptions of stream channels and water
movement in them.
