Watershed Management
GIS improves calculations for watershed characteristics, flow statistics, and debris flow probability. Flood Management
Use GIS to create flood forecasting models to predict areas at high risk and to develop preventative measures. Groundwater
Perform dispersion modeling of groundwater flow and constituents in groundwater with ArcGIS Spatial Analyst. Water Quality
GIS can be used to calculate loads to a surface water body or to monitor water quality changes within a water body such as a river or bay. Permitting
GIS plays a key role in helping to decide what types of businesses or activities will be granted water rights.

GIS is a powerful tool for developing solutions for water resources such as assessing water quality and managing water resources on a local or regional scale.

Hydrologists use GIS technology to integrate various data and applications into one, manageable system. The suite of tools contained in Arc Hydro facilitate the creation, manipulation, and display of hydro features and objects within the ArcGIS environment.
