Title: RESEARCH PAYS OFF: GISHYDRO2000: PERFORMING AUTOMATED HYDROLOGIC ANALYSES IN MARYLAND
Accession Number: 00800157
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Bridge and highway engineers must consider the frequency, magnitude, and timing of floods and the floods' effects on highway infrastructure. The University of Maryland and the Maryland State Highway Administration have developed a software package that removes much of the drudgery associated with standard hydrologic modeling tools. This geographic information system (GIS)-based software allows the engineer more time to consider alternative design scenarios and to examine the sensitivity of the model output to a range of input parameters--that is, how the results will hold under different possible situations. This article describes GISHydro2000, its applications and its benefits. The current version of GISHydro2000, including documentation and a user's manual, can be downloaded from the University of Maryland website, http://www.gishydro.umd.edu/.
