The following external pages contain geospatial data (DEM, land use, soils, images, and other data useful for hydrologic modeling) that can be imported into WMS. Please note that some files are [[WMS:WMS Native Files|supported natively]], while [[WMS:WMS Non-native Files|other file formats]] use the [[WMS:File Import Wizard|import wizard]] to reconfigure the data files into something usable in WMS. Be sure to download files in a format that can be used in one of these two ways.


Aquaveo maintains a website with useful links to locations that distribute geospatial data such as DEM, land use, soils, images, and other data useful for hydrologic modeling. The website is periodically updated by graduate students and research assistants at Brigham Young University. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of sites with geospatial data that are useful for modeling in WMS, but we have tried to distill from these the most significant sites. However, if you are aware of sites that might be more valuable, or as valuable, please contact technical support and let us know.

The following external pages contain geospatial data (DEM, land use, soils, images, and other data useful for hydrologic modeling) that can be imported into WMS. Please note that some files are supported natively, while other file formats use the import wizard to reconfigure the data files into something usable in WMS. Be sure to download files in a format that can be used in one of these two ways.

Within WMS

Some data can be imported directly from within WMS using the Get Data WMS GetDataToolIcon.svg, Get Data From Map WMS GetDataFromMapIcon.svg, and Get Online Maps Add Online Maps Icon.svg tools.

External Sources

There are many external sources for geospatial data from around the world. The following is a non-exhaustive list of some of the more commonly used sources. While we have information in the Cost column, these services are subject to change at any time and without notice, so review the information on each site to determine if there is a cost involved. Additionally, sites may go down or cease operations without notice.
