The importance of hydrographical networks data and the need for detailed studies do generate an increase of projects in this specialized area and a diversification of river mathematical modeling software. River mathematical modeling can be done in two ways, namely; the "2D mode" and the ¡°1D mode¡±. The ¡°2D mode¡± is where a digital terrain model of a full hydrographical basin must be produced and "1D mode" is where only cross sections, long sections and structures elevations needs to be presented in a graphical environment and in a specific formats for the mathematical modeling software. This paper will show the principle of a custom built GIS, specially created to help the preparation of 1D river modeling data. The benefits are; elimination of human errors, automated processing, increasing productivity, flexible output and cost reduction. %K river modeling %K GIS %K ISIS %K MIKE 11 %K Hec-Ras %U http://geographianapocensis.acad-cluj.ro/Revista/volume/nr_2_2012/pdf/Moisoiu.pdf
