The creation of a city-wide DEM has now opened the door for further analysis andhas provided the foundation for many other GIS-related projects across variousCity departments. To date, this data has already been used for viewshed analysisto determine radio tower coverage, water site prediction for the West Nile VirusProgram based on calculated land depressions, for slope and spill analysis as anEmergency Preparedness tool, and for contour line generation to produce 1mseamless contour intervals for the entire City. Combined with the digitalorthophotos, the DEM can form the basis of a 3-D virtual environment, which willundoubtedly lead to further possibilities in the area of GIS analysis and datamanipulation and visualization for the City of Hamilton.
