A Prototype Toolset for the ArcGIS Hydro Data Model
by Timothy Lee Whiteaker, B.S.
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.
