"Data Sandwich"

Vector Data   &   Raster Data  

Vector Data - discrete entities: point, lines and plygons

Vector Data   &   Raster Data  

Raster Data - images consisting or regularly sized and spaced cells where every cell has a value

  • Treatment Plants - points
  • Conveyance Line - lines
  • Sewer Service Area - polygon

Vector Data   

  • Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
  • One elevation value per cell

Raster Data
