Visualization and Management of Nonspatial Time Series Data in ArcMap
Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Michael Liberti

An ArcMap toolbar was developed using ArcObjects to visually analyze and manage time series water level records. Tucson Water maintains continuously recording data loggers in more than 60 monitoring wells. Many of these wells are affected by interference from other nearby pumping wells. The issue was to develop a tool for Hydrology staff to visually evaluate continuous water level data to eliminate nonstatic, pumping water level measurements.



The toolbar accesses a database to return a water level record set for a given well. The water level records are converted into Cartesian XY data using the Julian date for X and the water level depth for Y. The converted XY data is manifested in ArcMap as a point event layer in Cartesian space (depth vs. time). Point event data representing one or more database records can be identified and selected. Selected point records can then be flagged in the database as pumping water levels.
