NVision Solutions, Inc. announced today the release of its BasinTools software for ArcGIS 10 Desktop. BasinTools is a toolbox for Esri ArcGIS Desktop that calculates basin characteristics of terrain based on elevation and drainage data. BasinTools is used by federal, state, and local agencies around the country for everything from disaster management to environmental stewardship.
The software has been available commercially for the ESRI Platform since ArcINFO 7.2. It is based on algorithms validated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the name “BasinSoft” and automated the process of calculating basin characteristics which has traditionally been a time-consuming process. BasinTools uses the latest ESRI ArcObjects tools to integrate the calculation processes into the ArcGIS Desktop making the workflow more efficient and automatic to the end-user.
