Mapwindow is an opensource software which is includes a ready-to-use spatial data viewer and a geographic information system which can be modified and extended using plugins. The open source software will be exclusively used is MAPWINDOW along with the Hydro Desktop application. MAPWINDOW is a ready-to-use spatial data viewer and geographic information system that can be modified and extended using plugins and is able to accurately illustrate watershed delineation in 3D. The Hydro Desktop is a free software tool for finding time series of water and climate data which submitted by the hydrologic research community and other experts around the world. The MAPWINDOW toolset will be used to illustrate and query hydrogeomophological features in the catchment areas with Surrey.

This Wiki has been produced for the GEOM4008 Advanced Topics in Geographic Information Systems course at Carleton University. It is a tutorial to showcase the methods of calculating and illustrating the effects of terrain analysis for urban storm water modelling using Mapwindow in Surrey. This tutorial should aid in the user's ability to replicate the results shown using Mapwindow's plugins and tools.


Introduction to Mapwindow
