Exporting CSDP Information into GIS

Background

CSDP contains channel outlines, cross-section locations, cross-section profiles, and node locations. These are referenced in NAVD88 vertical datum and NAD83 horizontal datum in UTM Zone 10N projection.

Methods

QGIS can import WKT (Well-Known Text) format into a text-based layer, which can then be exported to ArcGIS.

Java Utilities

  1. Exporting CSDP channel outlines to WKT: CSDPChannelNetworkToWKT.java
  2. Exporting CSDP node locations to WKT: CSDPNodeCDLToWKT.java

These utilities should be made standalone and generic for command-line use.
