Application of Spatial-Data Management Techniques in Corps Planning.

Abstract

Spatial-data management techniques allow convenient, cost-effective representation of the spatially-varying data that are necessary for effective water and related-land resources planning. Application of the techniques began in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the early 1970's as an experiment. Since then, the techniques have been used for regional planning studies, major flood-control studies, and limited-scope investigations. The HEC-SAM software, developed and supported by the staff of the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), has made practical these applications. Keywords: Geographic information systems; Data bases.
