RIPGIS-NET, an Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI's) ArcGIS 9.2/9.3 custom application, was developed to derive parameters and visualize results of spatially explicit riparian groundwater evapotranspiration (ETg), evapotranspiration from saturated zone, in groundwater flow models for ecohydrology, riparian ecosystem management, and stream restoration. Specifically RIPGIS-NET works with riparian evapotranspiration (RIP-ET), a modeling package that works with the MODFLOW groundwater flow model. RIP-ET improves ETg simulations by using a set of eco-physiologically based ETg curves for plant functional subgroups (PFSGs), and separates ground evaporation and plant transpiration processes from the water table. The RIPGIS-NET program was developed in Visual Basic 2005, .NET framework 2.0, and runs in ArcMap 9.2 and 9.3 applications. RIPGIS-NET, a pre- and post-processor for RIP-ET, incorporates spatial variability of riparian vegetation and land surface elevation into ETg estimation in MODFLOW groundwater models. RIPGIS-NET derives RIP-ET input parameters including PFSG evapotranspiration curve parameters, fractional coverage areas of each PFSG in a MODFLOW cell, and average surface elevation per riparian vegetation polygon using a digital elevation model. RIPGIS-NET also provides visualization tools for modelers to create head maps, depth to water table (DTWT) maps, and plot DTWT for a PFSG in a polygon in the Geographic Information System based on MODFLOW simulation results.
RIPGIS-NET 是一个环境系统研究所（ESRI 的）ArcGIS 9.2/9.3 定制应用程序，旨在为生态水文学、河岸生态系统管理和溪流恢复中的地下水流动模型衍生空间明确的河岸带地下水蒸散（ETg）和饱和带蒸散参数，并可视化结果。具体来说，RIPGIS-NET 与 RIP-ET 一起工作，RIP-ET 是一个与 MODFLOW 地下水流动模型一起工作的建模包。RIP-ET 通过使用一组基于生态生理的植物功能分组（PFSG）的 ETg 曲线来改进 ETg 模拟，并将地面蒸发和植物蒸腾过程与地下水位分开。RIPGIS-NET 程序是用 Visual Basic 2005、.NET 框架 2.0 开发的，在 ArcMap 9.2 和 9.3 应用程序中运行。RIPGIS-NET 是 RIP-ET 的预处理和后处理器，将河岸带植被和地表高程的空间变异性纳入 MODFLOW 地下水模型中的 ETg 估计中。RIPGIS-NET 从数字高程模型中得出 RIP-ET 的输入参数，包括 PFSG 蒸散曲线参数、MODFLOW 单元中每个 PFSG 的分数覆盖面积以及每个河岸带植被多边形的平均地表高程。RIPGIS-NET 还为建模人员提供了可视化工具，用于根据 MODFLOW 模拟结果在基于地理信息系统的多边形中创建水头图、水位深度（DTWT）图以及绘制 PFSG 的 DTWT。
