 Stream Modeling: Channel Stabilization and Visualization Using ArcView Track: Modeling Author(s): Kevin McMaster Changing land use conditions such as urbanization or deforestation frequently lead to new hydrological flow regimes and changing stream channel morphologies. The visible effects of this change often take the form of stream bank erosion, channel braiding or increased turbidity. To combat the negative effects of a changing hydrologic regime, new channel morphologies can be imposed upon the stream by cutting and filling the landscape to form new, stable configurations. The incorporation of GIS and remote sensing into the stream modeling process allows for expedited land use classification and terrain modeling, facilitates the quantitative analysis, and allows greater flexibility during the visualization of existing and proposed conditions.
