Notes:
‘Geographical information systems’(GIS) technology holds considerable benefits to urban hydrology because of the spatial nature of catchment analysis. The availability of a spatio-temporal database of catchment characteristics can eliminate the adoption of simplifying assumptions, which reduce the quality of a research study. This research study was undertaken to demonstrate the need for accurate spatial and temporal accounting of land-use in an urbanizing catchment. The definition of the extent of GIS use, the approach to its integration into a study, and spatial database development, are crucial for eventual success.
