Research at UT :

My research at UT used geospatial data to support the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission's Water Availability Modeling Project.
 

Here is my thesis,  "Geospatial Data in Water Availability Modeling," aka CRWR Online Report 99-4.

As part of this research, I made an ArcView version 3.1 project file, "wrap1117.apr"  This project has all the scripts needed to implement the methodology described in the thesis.  You can download it here :

wrap1117.apr

There are two exercises that are presented as appendices in my thesis.  The first uses the procedures developed in the thesis to read flow distribution parameters from geospatial data sets.  The second is an introduction to the WRAP water availability model, and uses the parameters developed in the first exercise to distribute flows from gaged to ungaged sites in a river basin.  Both exercises use the same sub-watershed of the Sulphur River Basin in Northeast Texas as the study area.  You can download the data for these exercises from the following links :

Exercise 1:  Data

Exercise 1:  Digital Raster Graphics

Exercise 2
 

Here are two class term projects that I wrote.  Both apply GIS to hydrological modeling :

Spring 1998, Geographic Information Systems in Water Resources
Term Project : "Improved Nonpoint Source Modeling with EPA BASINS 2.0"
 

Spring 1999, Surface Water Hydrology
Term Project : "Development of Hydrologic Parameters in a Surface Water Network"
