Projection• Most measurement applications in Global Mapper look and work
better if the projection is set to a Transverse Mercator projection, where one metre will look the same in both the North-South and East-West directions.
• Options for Alberta include UTM Zone 11 (W of 114deg), UTM Zone 12 (E of 114 deg), 10TM (entire province) or 3TM (smaller areas, e.g. survey).
• Different GIS data files may store data in different projection systems, but Global Mapper will convert and display in the selected projection.
• To select projection – Tools: Configuration (or Configuration button), select “Projection Tab”, pick from list for UTM, “Load From File” for 10TM or 3TM (point to root of GIS folder, pick PRJ file).

6. Draw DA Boundary
a) Select Measure Tool
b) Start clicking at outlet point, click points along DA boundary :i. Follow ridge lines in the contours
ii. Include all stream tributaries

8. Multiple Polygons
• For large DA’s that can’t be easily analysed on one screen, multiple polygons can be used as follows:
a) Identify recognizable points for which incremental areas can be assessed on one screen at a reasonable level of zoom (e.g. bridges, confluences, other features on imagery…)
b) Measure the DA for the most upstream point.
c) Add an incremental measurement for each subsequent downstream point, using previous DA boundary as a guide for common boundaries (don’t hold down Alt key to snap)
d) Sum DA’s for all polygons to get total
• A similar process can be used to break basins into sub-basins for qualitative assessment of runoff or quantitative routing calculations.

Stream Profile - Overview
1. Starting with file for DA, prepare for stream selection
2. Select all arcs that make up the stream
3. Combine Arcs to form one line
4. Generate Profile for line
5. Calculate slope for desired location
6. (Optional - HIS Only) Import profile into HIS

TRANSPORTATION
1. Prepare for Stream Selection
1. Open Overlay Control Center
2. Un-check any vector layers that may affect stream arc selection:a. especially “Generated Contours” layers
b. also “User Created Features” layer to hide DA polygons
c. can leave bridge points on as they won’t interfere with line selection
3. Zoom to extent of stream to be profiled

2. Select Stream Arcs - Unnamed
1. Unnamed streams – add arcs technique:a. Select upstream arc using digitizer tool
b. Add the next downstream arc (CTRL + click)
c. Continue to end of stream
2. Unnamed streams – remove arcs technique:a. Select all vectors in stream network by dragging a box with the
digitizer tool
b. Remove arcs that are not on the main stream (SHFT + click)

3. Combine Selected Arcs1. Right Click on selected arcs and click on “Combine Selected Line
Features” and “OK”
2. De-select and re-select line to make sure all arcs were combined. If not, turn on “Render Vertices (SHFT + V)” and zoom in at points where the line combination failed and fix the problem by:
a. If lines are not contiguous - connect the lines with a short arc or snap move one vertex on top of the other
b. If the wrong arc was selected (such as a tributary), break that line at the confluence point and re-select and combine on the correct line.
3. Once lines are combined, they will be moved from the active Streams layer to the “User Created Feature” layer, and may disappear if this layer is hidden.

4. Generate Profile1. Right Click on the combined line segment and click on “Generate
Path Profile Along Line”. This option will not appear if a DTM layer is not turned on.
2. A plot of the profile of the line will appear

5. Calculate Slope at Point1. Estimate Slope from Plot
a. Identify approximate station of point of interest along profile (measure if necessary)
b. Identify which profile section applies to this point (if point is near cusp of 2 significantly different slope sections, more work will be required to estimate slope.
c. Identify the coordinates of 2 points on the appropriate slope section and calculate slope as dy/dx.
2. Export Data to Spreadsheet and calculate Slopea. From Plot window, select File – Save Distance/Elevation File
b. Open saved file in spreadsheet
c. Plot as necessary and calculate slope between 2 points defining slope for point of interest

6. Import to HIS1. Export Data to x,y,z text file
a. Change projection temporarily to Geographic
b. From Plot window, select File – Save XYZ File as xxxx.xyz where xxxx = unique ID code for this stream used by HIS
c. Save XYZ files for other streams as necessary
2. Import into “Stream Slopes.mdb” Filea. Open “Add Prof to DB” tool
b. Enter stream ID numbers to add and point to path of exported files and click “Go”
3. The stream profile will now be available within HIS, allowing precise locating of the bridge on the profile and the use of the built-in slope calculation tool.

XS Data
1. DTM – XS Extraction
2. Imagery Measurement
Global Mapper – Hydrotechnical Data Extraction41
TRANSPORTATION
1. DTM - XS Extraction1. Open DTM layer:
a. 100m spacing DTM generally insufficient for XS (B,h,T)
b. Better - LIDAR, Photogrammetry, 3D surfaces from survey points
2. Identify XS locations that appear to be typical of the channel (see Hydrotechnical Design Guidelines)
3. View Elevation Profile:a. Use 3D Path Tool to draw the line to be profiled (good for quick
views, but line will not be saved)
b. Use Measure Tool or Digitizer Tool to draw line and save as line when done. Right click on saved line and select “Generate Path Profile Along Line”
4. Characterize typical values for B, h, and T based on the profile plots at selected sections (export to text file for use in other tools, if necessary).

2. Imagery Measurement1. Open Imagery layer:
a. Satellite imagery OK for large rivers but too grainy (2.5m pixels) for small channels when zoomed in
b. Georeferenced airphotos allow for more precise scaling
2. Identify XS locations that appear to be typical of the channel (see Hydrotechnical Design Guidelines)
3. Use Measure Tool to measure channel dimensions at selected locations:
1. B - based largely on water surface width or width between vegetation
2. T – based on visual clues as to top of bank (apparent elevation change, change in vegetation)
3. h – difficult to assess from imagery. Visual comparison with other sites where ‘h’ is known will help to set limits on bank height.
4. Characterize typical values for B and T based on the measurements
