The FRAME Project: Integrating Watershed and Channel Processes Modeling Using GIS Technology
Dalmo A. VieiraEddy J. Langendoen , Ronald L. Bingner, Ronald L. Bingner
The Fluvial Routing Analysis and Modeling Environment - FRAME - software is designed to simulate watershed and channel flow and sediment routing processes. FRAME comprises several model components connected by a control module that provides a graphical user interface and manages all data sets and operations. FRAME uses ArcView GIS as the front-end interface. FRAME features a collection of tools that includes, among others, landscape analysis, watershed segmentation, stream channel network extraction, computational mesh generation, and data conversion and viewing programs. The system is designed to simulate long-term effects of remedial and control structures in disturbed watersheds to reduce sediment yield and stabilize channels.
