Spatial Hydrologic Data of the City of Austin
CD-ROM Documentation

Prepared by Francisco Olivera

Version 1.1, May 1996

This CD-ROM contains a number of Arc/Info coverages and grids prepared as part of the PhD dissertation research of Francisco Olivera. Some of the data presented are copies of coverages supplied by the City of Austin, but most of the data are from public domain sources which have been processed into a consistent format so as to support analysis of water quantity and quality questions using GIS based hydrologic methods.

All coverages and grids are in State Plane coordinates unless otherwise specifed. Coverages and grids are the result of importing interchange-files with the workstation version of Arc/Info. If, when working with a PC, you experience problems (e.g. losing some numbers of the tables), import the corresponding interchange-files (.e00 files) with the PC ArcView-Import utility. Interchange-files are also included in the CD-ROM. [Gr] = Grid, [AC] = Arc Coverage, [PC]= Polygon Coverage, [pC] = point coverage.

Copies of the CD-ROM can be obtained from the Center for Research in Water Resources, University of Texas at Austin, tel: (512) 471-3131. For information about the data, contact Francisco Olivera at paco@crwr.utexas.edu.

The following listing describes the contents of each section of the CD-ROM and provides some sample graphics.
