Use cases
Perfect Use Cases
Watershed management brief
Summarize basin divides, drainage density, flood risk, and stakeholder roles in one page for decision‑makers.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) summary
Map potential impacts from dams, irrigation, and urban runoff, linking pollution pathways to affected reaches and landforms.
Urban stormwater planning workshop
Show how impervious surfaces alter baseflow and flood peaks, connecting mitigation measures like riparian buffers and zoning.
Customize
How to Customize
Paste your topics and relationships
List nodes (e.g., Sources, Flow Processes) and connect them with simple Parent > Child links.
Refine groups and hierarchy
Cluster tributaries, basins, and landforms; adjust levels to match local, regional, or continental scale.
Brand and export
Apply your colors, add concise labels or metrics, then download or share instantly.
Key Benefits
- Turns complex hydrology into a single clear picture
- Fits any scale—from small catchments to continental basins
- Uses standard terminology (watershed, baseflow, discharge, sediment)
- Easy to update for stakeholder feedback and versioning
Pro Tips
- Limit top‑level categories to 5–7 for instant comprehension
- Use short verb phrases on links (e.g., ‘controls velocity’, ‘traps sediment’)
- Add key metrics as labels (m³/s, km², mg/L) to ground the concepts in data
