Hydrographic Waterbody Overview
By definition, hydrography is the study and survey of rivers, streams, creeks, springs, wells, ponds, lakes, reservoirs, oceans, seas, bays and estuaries with respect to their tides, flow characteristics, and navigability. Much of the available hydrographic information is in a format compatible with a GIS such as ArcView. Locating streams and other water bodies may be essential in creating a good model.
