WetScape DEM Utilities Download Page

The Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) utilities described in this document are scripts and an ArcView extension developed for the WetScape project and can be used to create an elevation basemap to run WetScape. WetScape is a Unix based program that can be used to identify topographical features that would be suitable for building wetland sites. For more information see the WetScape project page:

The DEM Merge Utilities can be used to combine or merge DEMs to build elevation coverages for any use. The extension and script accounts for differences in scale between DEMs and use the grid features in ArcView to create polygon coverages with elevation or elevation contours.
