Exercise 1: Geo-Referencing
1. At first we will open the toposheet which we want to geo-reference in a desired
coordinate system.
3. We will use the tools option from the menu bar. And choose coordinate calculator.
4. Tools Coordinate Calculator
5. A new window will get open:
6. In this window we will define the input and output coordinate system. For input
coordinate system selection we will go to projection menu bar and select set input
coordinate system.
7. Projection Set input projection and units
8. The new window will look like this and then we will set input projection by clicking
on the input projection button on the window.
9. Then we will choose Custom and set the projection type as geographic (Lat/Long) and
datum as Everest 1969 and click OK
12. Then we will set output projection system by clicking on Set Output Projection
button. The following window will get appear:
13. Again we will choose Custom and we will set projection information as follows:
14. Then in a particular order we will put longitude and latitude information on the
calculator and it will calculate the output projection in meter. But the main thing
which we will take care of is the order of coordinates we have given to the calculator.
The output will be as follows:
15. Then we will note down all the output coordinates for respective input coordinate.
16. Now we will start geo-referencing process:
18. It will open a new window. In this window we will select from Image File option
19. Now we will select the toposheet which we want to geo-reference by using
icon.
20. Then clock OK. Two windows will get open. One is viewer, which will open the
toposheet and the other window is Set Geometric Model Window.
21. In set Geometric Model Window we will set polynomial and then click OK.
22. Again two window will get open. One in polynomial model properties and the other is
Geo Correction Tool.
23. In polynomial Model properties window we will select polynomial order as 1 and
close this window. A new window will get appeared. Then we will select option Key
Board Only and clock OK.
26. We will select Custom setting. And set the projection values as follows then click OK.
27. Then we will select GCP in the same order as we have calculated the coordinates
earlier.
28. WE will use
option for GCP selection. And we will enter the Reference X and
Reference Y value through keyboard which we have calculated earlier.
29. In the same way will select minimum four GCPs in each corner of the toposheet.
30. After fourth point selection it will calculate the reference by itself but we will not use
these reference point. We will enter our calculated reference point. Now we will see
that our selected GCP has been shifted from its location. We will readjust this point
and if the error will be less than 1 we will proceed further.
31. Now in Geo-Metric Correction Tool we will select Display Resample Image Dialog
tool
32. In this resample box we will give the output file name and tick the ignore Zero in
Stats, then click OK.
33. Now in a new viewer we can open referenced image. Now this image is correctly georeferenced and we can see the units in meter and in UTM/WGS84.
Exercise 2:
GIS Database Creation
Water bodies available in base map (topo8) should be located and a polygon
layer be created.
Name: water_body
Feature type: polygon
Projection system: WGS-1984, UTM 43N Zone (import from already
georeferenced image topo8
Step 5: Create these files one by one. Procedure to be followed in all layers will
be
folder
(D:/training_dwdsc/May29_lab/Dbase_creation).
Select the folder in content list then go in folder write click and
new/shapefile
Create new feature layers i.e., spot_height, drainage and
water_body one be one.
Specify project and coordinate system by importing information
from base map (already geoferenced map i.e., topo8).
Open ArcMap and add base map
Add spot_height feature layer in ArcMap.
Then go to contents and write click on spot_height layer, open
attribute table and add one field (column) to record RL of spot
heights to be digitized.
Go to editor and click on start editing.
Then select spot heights from the base map degitise them and
record RL of ponts in attribute Table.
After completing the digitization save and stop the editing.
Step 6: Similarly using appropriate tools and ensuring selection of proper layer,
create drainge shown in thick blue lines on the map.
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this exercise to demonstrate the steps involved in delineating a stream
network and watershed boundaries from a digital elevation model (DEM) using the Spatial
Analyst Hydrology Tools in ArcGIS.
DEM.img is a DEM prepared from the stereo image of the area captured from CARTOSAT-1
satellite and obtained from NRCS, Hyderabad.
Images are geometrically corrected using WGS-84 coordinate system and UTM projection
system with a 43rd Zone.
All spatial analyst tools that are used for delineating stream network and watershed
boundaries are available in ArcToolbox. If ArcToolbox is not activated within the map
document, click on the ArcToolbox button to access the tools. Hydrology tools can be found
by selecting Spatial Analyst Tools. Hydrology within ArcToolbox as shown below:
After the process is complete a filled DEM (fill_dem) will be added to the map document.
After the process is complete, a flow direction grid with cells having one of the eight flow
direction values (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) will be added to the map document. Save the map
document.
After the process is complete, a flow accumulation grid will be added to the map document.
You will clearly see a stream network in this output, and if you check the pixel value (by
using the identifier tool), the values along the cells that appear to form a stream network will
have much higher values compared to the surrounding cells. Save the map document.
This will create a calculation raster where all the cells with value greater than or equal to
5000 in flowacc will have a value of 1, and all other cells are set to Null. Save raster as
stream in your working directory. Remove calculation, and add stream to your map
document. Save the map document.
After the process is complete, stream_order will be added to the map document. Can you tell
the order of the Reodar Macro watershed?
After the process is complete, a shapefile named stream.shp will be added to the map
document. Save the map document. You can use this tool to create features from other stream
related rasters such as stream order and stream link.
After the process is complete, stream_len will be added to the map document. What is the
maximum distance any water drop has to travel over the Reodar Macro watershed to reach
the outlet?
13.0 Basin
This tool uses the flow direction grid to find all sets of connected cells that belong to the
same drainage basin, and assigns the number of cells that belong to a basin to all the cells
within that basin. Double click on Basin tool of the Tool Box in ArcMap. Provide flowdir as
the input flow direction raster, and name the output raster as basin as shown below. Click
OK.
After the process is complete, basin raster will be added to the map document. Although you
will see a big drainage basin that gives the drainage boundary for Reodar Macro Watershed
output, there are some small drainage areas that do not drain to the Macro watershed.
After the process is complete, basin_boundary shapefile will be added to the map document.
Besides the main Reodar Macro Watershed Boundary, this shapefile also has small polygons
that do not belong to the Macro watershed. You can delete these polygons if you want.
After the process is complete, a raster named snap_pt will be added to the map document.
Zoom-in to the points to make sure that they align with the stream or flow accumulation grid.
Next, double click on Watershed function in the Hydrology tool of the Tool Box of the
ArcMap. Use flowdir as input for flow direction, snap_pt for input pour point raster, leave
the default pour point field unchanged, and name the output raster as watershed. Click OK.
After the process is successfully completed, you should get a raster showing watersheds at
these points as shown.
