  2. MapWindow GIS ActiveX Control • The core MapWindow component is a programming object (think “MapObjects”) that can be added to a form in Visual Basic or other languages supporting ActiveX

  3. MapWindow GIS Desktop GUI • A Programmable GIS that supports: • Visualization • Data analysis • Modeling • Custom GIS application development • Accepts Scripts and Plug-ins • Based on VB.NET and C#

  4. Sample MapWindow GIS Plug-ins • Automatic Watershed Delineation • Water Quality Analyst • Streamflow Analyst • PhotoViewer • TIN Builder/Viewer • Grid Wizard • Model Manager • BASINS • SWAT Model

  7. So, what is BASINS?

  8. Drinking water supply sites Dam sites EPA region boundaries State boundaries County boundaries DEM (shape and grid) Ecoregions NAQWA study unit boundaries Managed area database (Federal and Indian Lands) Soil (STATSGO) BASINS Datasets • Land use and land cover (shape and grid) • Urbanized areas • Populated place locations • Reach file 1 • Reach file 3 • National Hydrographic Data (NHD) • Major roads • USGS hydrologic unit boundaries (accounting and catalog units) Courtesy of Tetra Tech Inc.

  9. Models in BASINS • PLOAD – export coefficient based lumped model • Steady state, spatial, fit, deterministic. • “Screening level” model to look for spatial trends in water quality based on land cover type • SWAT – soil and water assessment tool • Dynamic, spatio-temporal, process, deterministic. • Agriculture-centered watershed model • HSPF – hydrologic simulation program FORTRAN • Dynamic, spatio-temporal, process, deterministic. • Primarily hydrologic process model with water quality components. • Others…

  10. Simple Models in BASINSPLOAD Export Coef. Model LP = U(LPU * AU) Where: LP = Pollutant load, lbs/year; LPU = Pollutant loading rate for land use type u, lbs/acre/year; and AU = Area of land use type u, acres
