    This document provides steps to summarize hydrological network data by intersecting river lines with a grid, calculating the total length of intersecting lines within each grid cell, and joining this summarized data back to the grid. The steps include: 1) adding hydro network data to ArcMap, 2) creating a grid, 3) extracting grid cells overlapping the area of interest, 4) assigning a unique ID to each grid cell, 5) intersecting the grid with river lines, 6) summarizing total intersecting line lengths by grid cell ID, 7) joining the summarized data back to the grid, and 8) symbolizing the results.

    1.

    )Add Data to ArcMap

    This data is the National Hydro Network from Geobase.ca (stored in a Personal Geodatabase) so that the length field is automatically populated) if using Shapefiles, a length field will need to be created to run Calculate Geometry

    2.) Create a grid (I used Hawths tools in ArcGIS 9.3.1, I dont have Spatial Analyst right now)

    3.) Extract from grid the polygons that overlay your area of interest

    4.) Export the selection to a feature class or shapefile

    5.) Populate a Unique Identifier in the Polygon Grid using Field Calculator (make a new text field, called UID) You can use the Add Field Tool or do it through the attribute table, make it Text

    Deleting redundant fields

    Use the following Expression in field calculator on the new field: abc_ & [ObjectID] + 1
    The portion in Italics/Underlined is optional if your ObjectID starts at zero and not 1.

    6.) Intersect the poly grid with the river lines

    7.) Summarize the [UID] field in the new waterline_intersect feature which includes a sum of the waterlines that fall within that specific grid

    8.) Join the summarized field back to the Grid using the UID field that is common in both of them (this has 1 to 1 cardinality)

    9.) Export data to make join permanent

    10.) Replace Null values with 0 using Field Calculator on the ShapeLength field that has the Line Length, not the Grid shape length (this field should have been removed earlier)

    Selecting all features in Sum_Shape_Length that are null

    Field calculator expression, just a single integer 0 without quotes or brackets of any kind

    11.) Symbolize data using quantities in the symbolize tab, and change classes and distribution of values

    Click classify

    Break values have been adjusted, and Sampling is increased to include ALL records in the shapefile for the distribution (example, if records in shapefile are 14000, make sampling 15000)

    FIN
