• Bringing together these two communities by using a common geospatial data model
• Arc Hydro design took 3 years from 1999 – 2002. Groundwater phase II 2002 - 2005.

Geographic Data Model
• Conceptual Model – a set of concepts that describe a
subject and allow reasoning about it
• Mathematical Model – a conceptual model expressed
in equations
• Data Model – a conceptual model expressed in a
data structure
• Geographic Data Model – a data model for
describing and reasoning about the world
A model is a simplification of reality

ArcGIS features
GIS uses features and tables to describe a simplification of a
“system” in this case the hydrological description.
2D features: Points, lines and polygons
Points - Wells
Lines- River network
Polygons - Aquifers
3D features: 3D points, 3D lines and 3D polygons

Key points
• Arc Hydro is a geographic data model – basis
for hydrological information system
• Extended to include the main features of
groundwater systems
• Provide a data interface between ArcGIS and
commonly used groundwater modeling
programs
• Integration of models through the data model.
