Garlmer River Data


SATILLA RIVER GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS DATA

GIS data sets are arranged within watersheds by category. All GIS files are binary, zipped (using pkzip, winzip or equivalent) PC Arc/Info coverages. At the present time, you must have Arc/Info available to be able to use these files after downloading them. Coverages will be converted to ArcView format in the future and methods to make these files accessible to those without the above software are being explored. Please note that the Other category contains spreadsheet files (MS Excel 7.0) that contain information on calculation of water volumes and average discharge for the five rivers, plus a BMP file illustrating the method of water volume calculation. For information on how these coverages were processed, and other GIS questions, please contact Dr. Alice Chalmers.
