GPS Options
There are several options for finding help with GPS questions,
training, equipment and troubleshooting.
There are some documents in the FAQ that answer basic questions.
Other than the GRAIP User Community, there are also local
commercial options to troubleshooting, technical support and equipment ordering.
The ones listed below are local to the Boise area. If users have other
commercial options, they are free to contact us to request adding them to this list.

FishXing -
Pronounced "Fish Crossing" this
software is designed to assist engineers, hydrologists and fish biologists in
the evaluation and design of culverts for fish passage. It is free and available
for download at the FishXing website.

WEPP Software - The Water Erosion Prediction Project
(WEPP) model is a process-based, distributed parameter,
continuous simulation, erosion prediction model for use on
personal computers running Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP. The
current model version (v2006.5) available for download is
applicable to hillslope erosion processes (sheet and rill
erosion), as well as simulation of the hydrologic and
erosion processes on small watersheds. Included in the
download package is the WEPP model (version 2006.5), WEPP
Windows interface (May 2006), CLIGEN climate generators
(versions 4.3 and 5.22564), documentation and example data.
SEDMODL2 -
Sediment Model 2
(SEDMODL2) is a GIS-based road erosion and delivery model
designed to identify road segments with high potential for
delivering sediment to streams. The model uses an elevation
grid combined with road and stream information layers to
produce what is essentially a computer-generated version of
the Washington surface road erosion model. It estimates
background sediment, generation of sediment for individual
road segments, finds road/stream intersections, and
estimates delivery of road sediment to streams.
Stream
Systems Technology Center - The Stream Systems
Technology Center, or "STREAM TEAM " is a national technical
center chartered to improve knowledge of stream systems and
watershed hydrology, develop operational tools and
technology, provide training and technical support, and
identify research needs for the purpose of coordinating
development of needed technology to secure favorable
conditions of water flows. The Stream Systems Technology
Center is part of the Washington Office Watershed,
Fisheries, and Wildlife Staff.
