Integrating nonpoint source pollution modeling with a geographic information system
AbstractThe major impediments in using computer models for simulating the consequences of nonpoint source pollution are the intensive data requirements and time involved in compiling the model input file. These problems can be overcome by integrating nonpoint source pollution models with geographic information systems (CIS). This paper presents a computerised system developed by integrating CIS and a dynamic, event-based, nonpoint source pollution model. The CIS software used for the integration was pc-ARC/INFO (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, CA). Using the pc-ARC/INFO Simple Macro language (SML), Pascal, and batch programming, a menu-driven system was developed thai integrates the Agricultural Nonpoint Source pollution model (AGNPS) willi pc-ARC/INFO. Running on a DOS platform with 640 KB of memory, the integration prototype converts a set of pc-ARC/INFO coverages into an AGNPS input data file. Tlie output from the ACNPS model is converted back into pc-ARC/INFO coverage and can he displayed as a map using tlie user-selected map format.
