2. WFM 6202: Remote Sensing and GIS in Water Management © Dr. Akm Saiful IslamDr. Akm Saiful Islam Task-1:Select Feature by Location  Task1 lets you use the select feature by location method to select snow courses within 40 miles of Sun Valley, Idaho, and plot the snow station data in charts.  What you need:  idcities.shp with 645 places in Idaho  snowsites.shp with 296 snow courses in Idaho and the surrounding states.

3. WFM 6202: Remote Sensing and GIS in Water Management © Dr. Akm Saiful IslamDr. Akm Saiful Islam Task-2: Query Attribute data from a relational Database  Task2 lets you work with the US Map Unit Interpretation Record (MUIR) database. By linking the tables in the database properly, you can explore many soil attributes in the database from any table. And, because the tables are linked to the soil map, you can also see where selected records are located.  What you need:  mosoils.shp – a soil shape file  comp.dbf – MUIR database  forest.dbf – MUIR database for forest  plantnm.dbf – MUIR database for plant
