About This Book
This book has evolved from the professional level course entitled "GIS in Water Resources" offered, from 1991 through 1996, by the University of California, Davis, University Extension, and thereafter by the Computational Hydrology Institute. The course presenters who lectured on the mechanics and development of a Stormwater Information Management System (SIMS), as applied to the disciplines of flood control and drainage master planning, are this book's principal author and Johannes J. DeVries, Ph.D., PH, PE.
In order to present the material in a more step-by-step fashion, this book illustrates the preparation of the SIMS approach as developed and marketed by Advanced Engineering Software' (AES) for their Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) SIMS. From 1995 through 1999, applications of the AES SIMS have been developed for several city-wide and county-wide Master Plans of Drainage in the southwest United States, by several consulting firms.
