StreamBuilder is an extension for MapInfo Professional which gives you the ability to build drainage basins, stream networks and flow paths directly from a digital elevation model grid, with no other input required. With a few mouse clicks, and working entirely within MapInfo Professional, you can extract drainage information from a DEM grid in a highly accurate, efficient and user-friendly manner. The stream network and / or catchments are then available as fully attributed polylines and polygons. from a DEM grid to stream network and catchment polygons

Using StreamBuilder
StreamBuilder is important and cost-effective software for anyone who needs accurate drainage information including users in environmental, forestry, agriculture, land care, mineral exploration, government and other sectors. Key uses for StreamBuilder are: check manually digitized catchments used for existing stream monitoring generate flow paths for important source locations (actual or potential contamination and pollution sources) design a stream monitoring program with accurate values for the drainage area at each monitoring location quickly and unambiguously assign natural and cultural features to drainage basins and outlet points analyze old stream survey data to identify catchment basins for each sampling point plan new stream sampling survey, ensuring that each point samples a set upslope area

StreamBuilder will build catchments much quicker and more accurately than can be achieved through manual processes. This allows you to spend more time analyzing your data, with full confidence in the data quality.

Locate the flow paths from actual or potential pollution sources

StreamBuilder
Pre-process DEM grids to remove pits

Pits or depressions may be introduced into a DEM grid as artefacts of the interpolation process. StreamBuilder can remove these inconsistencies to ensure that the expected downhill flow is not interrupted. When pre-processing a DEM grid in areas with natural depressions such as lakes, StreamBuilder can be instructed to ignore areas lying within selected polygons; additionally StreamBuilder can ignore elevations outside a specified range. Drainage network for entire grid Drainage is generated for an entire DEM grid by simply specifying the minimum catchment area. StreamBuilder then builds the stream network and/or catchment basins heirarchically, with one subbasin for each link in the stream network. Use this option to plan new stream sampling programs. Drainage network for selected outlet points Generate catchment polygons for all selected sampling sites. StreamBuilder will cut-out catchments from those upstream, and can move sampling sites within a user-defined tolerance to account for survey inaccuracies. Use this option to analyze existing stream sampling data sets. Flowpaths for selected source points Simply select the flow source points in the map window and StreamBuilder will quickly display the flow paths from each of these points. This valuable function makes it easy to rapidly identify the drainage that will be affected by pollution or other flow from a point. Process grids of any size StreamBuilder will process any size grid limited by available memory. StreamBuilder can process a nominated window sub-set of a DEM grid to reduce the data being handled, or alternatively can resample a grid on-the-fly. This feature allows multiple DEM grids of differing resolution (and which may overlap) to be processed in one step. Supported DEM Grid Formats Direct read and write of any grid format supported by MapInfo Professional, including mig(read and write), Vertical Mapper grd (read-only) and USGS DEM (read-only). StreamBuilder can also read DEM grids in BIL, ER Mapper, ArcView GridAscii and Ascii xyz format. Enhanced for Optimum Productivity With batch processing and a processing log file, StreamBuilder makes it easy to process very large datasets easily and efficiently. System Requirements StreamBuilder requires MapInfo Professional v6.0 or later, running on any of Window98/NT/2000/XP. The size of DEM grid that can be processed is determined by available memory. StreamBuilder is available for evaluation as a full-functionality, limited uses licence. About Avantra Geosystems
