Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and their application to hydrologic modeling. Basic GIS skills are used to manipulate and analyze spatial data to populate NRCS TR-55 hydrologic model for use in sizing constructed wetlands, bio-retention cells, and minor flood zones. No prior knowledge of GIS or hydrologic modeling is required. Stormwater and erosion control permitting as well as basic design principles for Maryland Environmental Site Design standards are introduced.
