The last few years have witnessed an enormous interest in
application of GIS in hydrology and water resources. This is partly
evidenced by organization of sev eral national and international
symposia or conferences under the sponsorship of various
professional organizations. This increased interest is, in a large
measure, in response to growing public sensitivity to environmental
quality and management. The GIS technology has the ability to
capture, store, manipulate, analyze, and visualize the diverse sets
of geo-referenced data. On the other hand, hydrology is inherently
spatial and distributed hydrologic models have large data
requirements. The integration of hydrology and GIS is therefore
quite natural. The integration involves three major components: (1)
spatial data construction, (2) integration of spatial model layers,
and (3) GIS and model interface. GIS can assist in design,
calibration, modification and comparison of models. This
integration is spreading worldwide and is expected to accelerate in
the foreseeable future. Substantial op portunities exist in
integration of GIS and hydrology. We believe there are enough
challenges in use of GIS for conceptualizing and modeling complex
hydrologic processes and for globalization of hydrology. The
motivation for this book grew out of the desire to provide under
one cover a range of applications of GIS tech nology in hydrology.
It is hoped that the book will stimulate others to write more
comprehensive texts on this subject of growing importance."
