Abstract
Visualizing the Impact of Control of the Lower Colorado River
Track: Environment Management
Author(s): Jeffrey Rieker, John Labadie, Kevin Fagot
Various techniques are presented for integrating GIS with hydraulic modeling of the Lower Colorado River by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Colorado State University. The model is geared toward creating a better understanding of the environmental impacts of dam operations and river control on the critical habitat of endangered species. GIS techniques that are explored include geostatistical analysis of existing data to produce terrain surfaces for use with the model as well as methods to create high-quality visually-oriented representations of model output including two and three-dimensional animations.
