Drainage System
Shape of surface:
-determines water flow
-change in area that affects the flow
-is useful to predict the effect of altering the
landscape
-is well-represented by digital elevation model (DEM)
Drainage system consists of:
-area depended on water falls, and
-stream networks where flows to outlet.
Using GIS
In urban area, natural flow paths are interrupted
due to human interventions such as construction of
roads landfill
roads,
landfill, building
building, and encroachment etc
etc.
GIS is a powerful tool to,
- Create terrain data: elevation, surface
- Easily generate the drainage network
- Evaluate the effects of urban interventions on
drainage pattern
- Spatial analysis

Sink
Flow direction
A sink is a cell or set of spatially connected cells whose flow direction cannot be assigned
one of the eight valid values in a flow direction grid. This can occur when all neighboring
cells are higher than the processing cell, or when two cells flow into each other creating
p
a two-cell loop.

Objectives
1. Identification of the drainage needed
locations due to road network construction.
4. Edit TIN
3. Create TIN
Any feature used in the triangulation process must be incorporated as a particular kind of surfacefeature type.
Mass point - individual points are entered into the triangulation process as nodes to the
triangulation.
Breakline - linear features are maintained in the triangulation as a sequence of one
or more triangle edges. There are two types of breaklines. If there are both of breaklines in the
same file, it might be necessary to create two different generate files for each kind of breakline.
Replace polygon sets the boundary and all interior heights will be the same values (are assigned
one constant value, for example, lakes). It is maintained in the triangulation as a sequence of one
or more triangle edges.
Erase polygon - polygonal features are maintained in the triangulation as a sequence of one or
more triangle
i l edges.

interpolation. Analytic operations such as volume calculation, contouring, and interpolation will
ignore these areas. It is used to define the flat areas.
Clip polygon - polygonal features are maintained in the triangulation as a sequence of one or more
triangle edges. Input data falling outside polygonal features are excluded from model interpolation.
Fill polygon - are assigned an integer value to areas within fill polygons, as known as tagging a
surface.
