A Algorithm Arc/Info A set of rules which specify a sequence of actions to be taken to solve a problem. Each action is precisely and unambiguously defined so that in principle it can be per-formed by machine GIS software. The PC version of this software is used for demonstration in this manual. The UNIX version of it was used to create the WSCP data. Back coverage Coverage used for display purposes but not activated for editing operations B Back environment Feature(s) of the back coverage to be drawn Area from which water runs off to any given river valley or collecting reservoir. Catchment Area from which water runs off to any given river valley or collecting reservoir C CDE Cells Contours Co-ordinates Centre for Development and Environment (Institute of Geography, University of Berne / Switzerland). Smallest map units with homogeneous information (also called Pixels). Lines at the same elevation above sea level. Systems of numerical indications used for georeferencing locations on maps and/or in the field. Digitalisation Transformation of an analogue file into a digital file. D DOS DTM DTM errors GIS Disc Operating System. Operating System used on PC workstations Digital Terrain Model (equivalent to DEM = Digital Elevation Model). Computer stored map containing topographic information (elevation) over the entire map surface. The quality of a DTM depends on the quality of the input data (contours, points, etc.). Incorrect information in the input data produces wrong DTM features. Frequent types of input data errors are: wrong contour elevation, inter-section of contours with different elevations, mismatches between points and contours or between rivers and contours, double digitalisation of contours Abbreviation for Geographic Information System: Data base of spatial information G
4 Page 4 of 8 GIS software Grid Interpolation Data base management system to store and process spatial information. A computerised representation of a raster file. Calculation of elevation values for the entire map surface from given contours and/or points, using an algorithm. I Label Coverage element (point), also for polygon definition L Lineset Arc/Info file defining the size, pattern and colour of the linear features of a coverage or map composition. MRC Mekong River Commission Secretariat in Bangkok / Thailand. M PAT Polygon Attribute Table or Point Attribute Table P PC Projection Personal Computer System of mathematical formulas used to transform geo-graphical information from one map to another or from the physical world to a map. Raster Division of a (digital) map into the smallest map units with uniform/homogeneous information (cells). The size of raster cells is userdefined (resolution). R Resolution Resource River basin Size of the cells in a raster map or a raster-based DTM as a function of the map or DTM scale. A component of the natural environment used in order to meet particular human needs. The act of exploitation converts the component into a resource Large river systems composed of numerous catchments and sub-catchments. SDC Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation S Spline TIN Topography UNIX Watershed Workstation WSC WSCP ARC/INFO function (algorithm) for interpolation. Constructs surface trends in order to calculate a continuous surface using given contour/point elevation. Triangulated irregular Network. Algorithm for calculating the smallest possible triangles between known elevation points (on contours and/or points). These triangles are the smallest map unit. The TIN algorithm produces a discontinuous surface. Description of the surface features of a particular landscape. Operating System. The UNIX Arc/lnfo version runs on this Operating System, while the PC Arc/Info version runs on the DOS Operating System Dividing line between two catchments. Used in practice as a synonym for catchment. In our context: UNIX based workstations (as opposed to DOS based PC workstations). Watershed Classification: classification of a landscape into different watershed classes, as a description of the potential topographic soil erosion risks to the landscape based on its physical and/or environmental features. Watershed Classification Project for the Lower Mekong Basin started in June 1990, and co-ordinated by the Mekong River Commission Secretariat T U W IV List of Commands

FOREWORD Planning for natural resources is a complex multidisciplinary task. It typically involves the generation, storage, processing and integration of large amounts of spatial information. The Watershed Classification Project which was designed to provide an analytical tool for land use planning and watershed management in the Lower Mekong Basin was challenged by this condition from the very beginning. In its early stages the Project relied on more conventional technologies for data generation and processing. However, soon it turned out that these technologies could not live up to the requirements of an advanced planning instrument in particular in terms of analytical capability, flexibility and versatility. While searching for technologies meeting these requirements, the Project selected the Geographical Information System (GIS) as the obvious choice. After careful consideration the project was redesigned for GIS application. Geographical Information System is a recent and still very dynamic technology. Most professionals of the riparian countries involved in natural resource management have not been exposed to training in this field during their formal studies. The present WSC Data Users Guide intends to compensate to some extent for this shortcoming by providing the background and skills required to generate, process and store digital data for watershed classification. As the term Guide indicates, it is a hands-on reference for staff directly involved in watershed classification activities. It complements the WSC Map Users. Guide, which addresses the methodological aspects of the Project, with technical information and practical instructions. I am confident that the present Guide is well suited to promote the skilful and responsible application of Watershed Classification in the Lower Mekong Basin.
