The Arc Hydro Groundwater data model is a geodatabase design for representing multidimensional groundwater data. The data model supports representations of different types of groundwater data including representation of data from aquifer maps and well databases, data from geologic maps, 3D representations of borehole and hydrostratigraphy, temporal information, and data from simulation models.
The data model is based on the newly designed Arc Hydro framework which is shared by the surface water and groundwater data models. Users can add groundwater and surface water components to the framework as necessary, or develop their own components. This new componentized approach enables tailoring the geodatabase design to meet specific project needs.
The groundwater data model is being documented as an ESRI Press book: Arc Hydro Groundwater Data Model, which will be available in the coming months.
For more information on the data model please visit the Arc Hydro Groundwater website or contact Gil Strassberg, or Norm Jones.
--Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools--
Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolbox has now been released! Please visit the Aquaveo website to download.
New ArcGIS tools are being developed by Aquaveo, a software development company with substantial expertise in groundwater modeling and data management applications. The Arc Hydro Groundwater tools will include three sets of tools:
Groundwater Analyst – A set of tools for creating and managing data within an Arc Hydro groundwater geodatabase and for visualizating groundwater data. The Groundwater Analyst will be free to all ArcGIS users.
MODFLOW Analyst – A set of tools for creating, archiving, and visualizing MODFLOW models.
The Groundwater Analyst and the MODFLOW Analyst have now been released!
COMING SOON:
Subsurface Analyst – A set of tools for managing subsurface data, including tools for creating cross sections and 3D geovolumes of stratigraphy data.
Learn more or download the Groundwater Analyst and the MODFLOW Analyst at the Arc Hydro Groundwater Toolkit website, or contact Royd Nelson at Aquaveo.
New work has resulted in the unveiling of a beta program for the Groundwater Data Model in 2006. This will highlight the new development of the data model templates, case studies, related 3D toolset, and tutorials. For further information contact Gil Strassberg, or feel free to post related questions to the ESRI data model discussion forum listed above.
