<br />Colorado River Watershed Database: The <br />Hydropshere Concept. <br /> <br />Our GIS database concept provides natural <br />resource professionals with a state-of-the-art "one- <br />stop-shopping" data delivery solution. We <br />integrate important and valuable natural resource <br />databases, display them in a meaningful <br />geographic context, and effectively deliver selected <br />, data to the user. Hydrosphere effectuates data <br />delivery(viewing, plotting, and exporting) using <br />ArcView GIS Software and our user-friendly <br />Windows interface: <br /> <br />The Geographical Context <br /> <br />Hydrosphere's database is tightly integrated <br />with ESRI's ArcView 2. Use the full power of ' <br />this easy-to-use GIS software to display <br />observation station locations in a feature-rich <br />geographical context. GIS features include the <br />point location of observation' stations, political <br />boundaries,' streams, hydrologic unit boundaries, <br />city names, reservoir milnes, and lake names. <br /> <br />, , Select target observation stations using <br />Arc View's spatial geoprocessing tools or logical <br />queries based on attributes from the Colorado <br />River Watershed Database. <br /> <br />The Colorado River Watershed Database <br />observation station point coverages contain a Point <br />Attribute Table (PAT) with a record for each . <br />unique combination of station, parameter,' and <br />statistic. The PAT's have a single record for each <br />station, a description attribute table with a record <br />for each station, and a statistic attribute'table with <br />a summary statistic record for each unique <br />station/parameter combination. <br /> <br />Hydrosphere's Windows Interface <br /> <br />Select stations of interest from the <br />'Colorado River Watershed Database using. . <br />Hydrosphere's user-friendly Windows interface. <br />Use the Windows interface independently of . <br />ArcView(for those of you not using the popular <br />GIS software) or use it seamlessly while rumiing <br />,in ArcView 2.' . <br /> <br />Like our renowned DOS interface our user- <br />friendly Windows interface is organized using <br />various database selection review windows. You <br />may view and select target stations and parameters <br />from the station view and parameter view <br />windows. Selection criteria include Station ID, <br />name, observation parameter, site code, <br />hydrologic unit code, state, county, and <br />latitude/longitude. <br /> <br />Once your' parameters are chosen select' <br />from statistical summaries, daily time series, <br />plotting and data export views. Statistic views <br />include summary, daily, monthly and extreme <br />views. Plotting and exporting selected data is as <br />close as a couple of clicks' on your mouse or <br />trackball. <br /> <br />, In addition to menu-driven data selection <br />you may des'ign your oWn SQL queries to zeroin <br />on your target stations. <br /> <br />Open DatabaSe Connectivity <br /> <br />The Colorado River Watershed Database <br />links tightly to Microsoft Excel using DDE. . <br />Seamlessly model and graph selected data using <br />this popular spreadsheet software: <br /> <br />. HydTosphere's datab,ase is designed using <br />the Open Database Connectivity standard. Many <br />popular database management software systems <br />support this standard and can be used to access the <br />Colorado River Watershed Database tables directly <br />off the CD-ROM. ' <br /> <br />Requirements <br /> <br />The Colorado River Watershed Database <br />ships on a single CD-ROM in native ArcView <br />formaL The minimal configuration for ArcView is <br />a 386/25 with 8 MB of RAM, and 120 MB hard <br />drive.
