Hydrology
• The study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability – Divided into surface hydrology and marine hydrology. – Domains include hydrometeorology, surface hydrology,
hydrogeology, drainage basin management and water quality, where water plays the central role

Watershed
• The area that contributes water to a feature on a landscape – Usually represented as a
physical area – Also called basins,
catchments or contributing areas
![Page 5: GIS: Geographic Information Systems Module 12 ... · Module 12: Hydrological modelling Matthew L. Sisk Center for Digital Scholarship Hesburgh Library, University of Notre Dame library.nd.edu/cds](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022043016/5f38ce15b2fc2812236da5fd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hydrologic modeling
• Frequent types of questions – How much water flows across a point on the landscape? – How is rain water likely to flow? – What areas are more likely to have water-based erosion – What bodies of water would be impacted by a spill at a
given location
![Page 6: GIS: Geographic Information Systems Module 12 ... · Module 12: Hydrological modelling Matthew L.

Hydrology toolset
• A series of tools for modeling how water flows across a landscape
• Elevation, in the form of a DEM, is usually the base data
• Important for understanding erosion, rainfall or the spread of pollutants.

Flow Direction
• A raster image where the only value is the direction water is likely to flow – Calculated by looking at surrounding pixels

Sinks
• A sink is a set of one or more cells which has no downstream cells around it
• DEM creation results in artificial sinks in the landscape – Some sinks are natural lakes or ditches, the majority are
not • Unless these sinks are filled they will isolate portions
of the watershed • Filling sinks is the first step for processing a DEM for
surface water systems
![Page 15: GIS: Geographic Information Systems Module 12 ... · Module 12: Hydrological modelling Matthew L.

Sink
Peak
- Sinks are areas that water can flow into, but not back out - Thus, they have an undefined flow direction - ArcGIS gives them the sum of possible directions - Usually the result of errors in the DEM - Sinks are more common at lower resolution - Can be real features where water collects
- Peaks are areas that are higher than all surrounding pixels - Less likely to cause problems, but may still be errors in the DEM

Flow Accumulation
• A raster image where the only pixel value is the number of cells flowing into it
• Gives a measure of how much water would flow into a given cell based on what is upstream

• Two methods. Different rankings, same data • Each stream feature is ranked by how many other
stream contribute to it.

Stream to Feature
• Converts a raster stream image into a polyline shapefile
• More effective than simply converting a raster to a polyline
• Retains the stream rank.

Example: Flow Length
• Each cell has a value of how far water there would travel before leaving the DEM (can be upstream or downstream)
• Gives an estimate ho long water stays in a particular watershed

Snap Pour Points
• Snap the pour point of a watershed to the cell of highest flow accumulation within a neighborhood. – Prevents accidental creation of tiny watersheds on
channel side slopes.

Watersheds
• Drainage basins are areas that drain water to a common outlet.
• Pour point are where water flows out of an area. Usually the lowest point along the boundary of a drainage basin.
