In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of Arc Hydro in ArcGIS Pro. This includes learning the Arc Hydro data model, learning tools to build and apply the data model, and exploring case studies implementing the Arc Hydro data model.

The course begins by joining the user support group for Arc Hydro, the ESRI Water Resources Community. The course then proceeds to introduce students to the current Arc Hydro ArcGIS Pro project data model, the historic Arc Hydro data model, and the reasons for the model’s evolution over time. 

Students then learn tools to build the Arc Hydro data model, to apply the Arc Hydro data model, and to Trace the hydrologic networks of the data model. Finally, students will study applications of Arc Hydro in hydrology, watershed science, and fish habitat biology.

Through an understanding of the Arc Hydro data model, tools, and applications, students of this course will have developed the skills they need to efficiently implement Arc Hydro in their own GIS workflows.
