GIS-Module Ukrainian - watershed modeling software for environmental research purposes

Abstract

The author’s approach of the GIS-Module Ukrainian software elaboration has been briefly introduced. This software links computer simulation of drainage areas with geoinformation technology implemented in this PC modeling system. Such an approach unites a strong spatial aspect of geomorphic-hydrologic research area of GIS applications with human environmental issues in watersheds. As a practical implementation of the approach suggested the GIS-Module software has been firstly presented in this paper in terms of its functionality, operational scope, and some basics for users. Few generalized regional examples of the GIS-Module using and testing have been provided.
