Delimiting Wetlands Methods Using ArcGIS
Download: swamp_castellanos_report_methodsfordelimitingwetlandsinslocanriverwatershedusingarcgis_2017.pdf
The primary aim of this project proposal is to explore different methods for delimiting possible locations of wetlands in the Slocan River Watershed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. The proposed GIS methodology consists of 3 different approaches (Difference Raster, Slope and Aspect method) using ArcMap and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) obtained from the open source website: Geogratis. Additionally, a Python script and a Modelbuilder model were created to automate the detection of wetlands and flat areas in just 5 minutes using the Raster difference. Finally, the results from each methodology were represented in a web-map application using ArcGIS Online.
