David R. Maidment is the Engineering Foundation Professor of Engineering and Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources at the University of Texas at Austin, where he has been on the faculty since 1981. He received his Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Engineering with First Class Honors from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, and his MS and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Texas, he was a research scientist at the Ministry of Works and Development in New Zealand, and at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna, Austria, and he was also a Visiting Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. Dr Maidment is a specialist in surface water hydrology, and in particular in the application of geographic information systems to hydrology. Since 1989, he has been cooperating in this field with ESRI, manufacturers of Arc/Info and ArcView, the leading GIS programs world-wide. Each year, Dr Maidment presents a survey of the state of the art in GIS and hydrology at the ESRI User Conference, and since 1997, these surveys have been summarized on GIS Hydro CD-ROMs. Since 1991, he has also been working with the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the US Army Corps of Engineers, to prepare GIS interfaces for HEC models. He is the principal designer of the Arc Hydro data model, which is a customization of the ArcGIS geographic information system for water resources, published in the book Arc Hydro: GIS for Water Resources in 2002. He and his research team also have current projects applying GIS for flood plain mapping, water quality modeling, water resources assessment, hydrologic simulation, surface water-groundwater interaction, and global hydrology.
