These are river engineering data and tools that quantify a parameter or process for a given location.

Examples:

  • Models or software
  • Data repositories
  • Web-based tools
  • Engineering spreadsheets

River engineering ‘Data and Tools’ are categorized (5) ways

  1. Data Sources:  The ‘Data Source’ category is subdivided by data type:
