This page contains materials from a graduate level class entitled GIS in Water Resources taught by Dr. David Maidment at the University of Texas at Austin with Dr. David Tarboton of Utah State University. The purpose of these exercises is to provide instruction in the use of GIS in its application to hydrology and water resources problems. Each exercise normally takes 3-4 hours to complete. If you don’t have access to the ArcGIS software needed to do the exercises, you can still read through them and understand the nature of the analysis from the instructions and pictures presented. Additional lecture materials from this class can be found at the class website: http://www.ce.utexas.edu/prof/maidment/giswr2006/giswr2006.htm.
