1 George Mason University Department of Civil, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Dr. Celso Ferreira Prepared by Lora Baumgartner December 2015 Revised by Brian Ross July 2016 Exercise Topic: GIS and Water Resources Engineering (ArcGIS Spatial Analyst) Objective: Delineate GMU Watershed using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst-Hydrology Tools Challenges: a) Set up a model builder model to automate your analyses b) Compare and contrast the results from the three resolutions (1 arc-second, 1/3 arc-second, 1/9 arc-second) in terms of computational time and precision c) Compare and contrast the results from multiple Stream Network thresholds (500, 1000, 5000, 10000). **Refer to the ArcGIS Resource Center for definitions and context of the steps and tools in this tutorial, currently found at Tutorial DEM obtained from GMU Campus Lidar file (provided) Versions used for this tutorial: ArcMap (Student), ArcCatalog
2 Part 1: Prepare Project Prepare Arc Catalog 1. Open ArcCatalog. Click the icon labeled Connect To Folder. 2. Select the preferred file folder location for ArcGIS project components. The default Geodatabase location is not recommended. The campus DEM file and all project data should be saved to a separate file location. 3. Click Okay. 4. Note that ArcCatalog is now showing the GMU Campus DEM file. The associated folder must be selected in the Catalog Tree window. Press F5 throughout the project to refresh ArcCatalog. 2
3 5. Under the File Menu, hover over the New drop-down menu. 6. Select File Database. 7. Specify the preferred name for the new File Database. The File Database ( GDB ) will hold ArcMap components. 3
4 Create New Project 1. Open ArcMap. Select Blank Map from the New Maps menu. 2. Set the Default Geodatabase as the newly-created GDB from the previous section of this tutorial. 3. Click OK. 4. Select Extensions from the Customize menu on the top toolbar. 5. Enable (checkmark) all extensions. 6. Click Close. Extensions enable specific analytical functionality within ArcMap. 4
5 7. Select ArcToolbox from the Geoprocessing menu on the top toolbar. 8. Note the ArcToolbox menu in the right sidebar. This tutorial will focus on Spatial Analyst Tools > Hydrology. 5
6 Create Project 1. Select Save As from the File menu on the top toolbar. 2. Select the preferred file folder location. 3. Specify the preferred project name. 4. Click Save. 6
7 Add Data 1. Select Add Data from the File menu. 2. Locate the file location of the previously-downloaded GMU Campus DEM. 3. Select the GMU Campus DEM file. 4. Click Add. 5. Note that a DEM Layer has been added in the Table of Contents window on the left sidebar. 7
8 6. Select Add Basemap from File > Add Data. 7. Select the preferred map. Topographic is recommended for this tutorial. 8. Click Add. 8
9 9. Note that a Basemap Layer has been added in the Table of Contents window on the left sidebar. The basemap provides helpful visual context for the DEM. However, graphical rendering of the basemap can slow computations and rendering of later graphics. Any layer can be hidden by unchecking the box next to the layer title. Any layer can be removed from the ArcMap project by right-clicking on the Layer name. Removing a layer in ArcMap does not delete the layer from the project. The layer is still filed with the project in ArcCatalog. 9
