These course materials are designed for natural resource professionals, planners, and volunteers, particularly those who work at a regional or watershed level.

Exercises cover how to use the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension to display and manipulate data such as the NH Land Cover data and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). In addition to developing familiarity with these data layers, participants will learn how to apply these tools and data to watershed issues. ArcHydro is introduced in this course and used for watershed delineation.

The workshop materials consist of the workshop manual (PDF), the presentations (PPT) and the data folders and files.

The manual contains the following sections:

     1. Introduction to Spatial Analyst
     2. Land Cover in Riparian Zones
     3. Impervious Surfaces and Change Detection
     4. Watershed Delineation (Spatial Analyst alone)
     5. Watershed Delineation (using ArcHydro)
