Download and organize country data for Nepal, set up a watershed project, and assign a defined coordinate system in ArcGIS, addressing unknown coordinates and ensuring proper reference.

Explore watershed delineation in ArcGIS by applying hydrology tools, computing flow direction, and generating basin polygons to model water flow and save results.

Apply watershed delineation techniques in ArcGIS by clipping features, processing hydrology, computing flow direction with map algebra, converting raster to lines, and creating final watershed maps for Nepal.

Map Nepal's administrative area in ArcGIS, adjust colors and transparency, add a title, north arrow, and scale bar, then export the map as a PDF.

Learn practical ways to make maps more attractive by adjusting backgrounds, boundaries, and symbology, using classifications into seven classes and color choices, and considering shading or hills for presentation.

Create an ArcGIS map from scratch in this project, starting with no data, locate airports, import a data table, draw the map, and turn data points into a finished visualization.

Create a flow map workflow by preparing airport data in Excel, extracting decimal degree coordinates from Google Earth Pro, and importing to ArcMap for mapping.

Flow map part-2 guides you to import airport data, set a coordinate system, and create flow lines from start-point x long and y latitude fields.

Prepare a final map by inserting a north arrow, configuring the legend for administrative area and airport layers, and converting elements to graphics, then export and save.

Save coordinate systems to favorites to streamline ArcGIS workflows. Add the 1984 geographic coordinate system to favorites and apply it with fewer clicks across data.

Save coordinate systems to favorites in ArcGIS to streamline shapefile creation, reducing the workflow from five clicks to one and speeding up polygon and polyline features.

Learn to create interlocking polygons in a shapefile by using editing tools, constructing overlapping features, and managing their attribute data.

Adjust the attribute table to display two decimal places for area values by opening format options and setting the decimal places or significant digits after calculations.

Learn to apply multiple labels in ArcGIS by defining feature classes and labeling each class differently, then adjust area and population labels with color, size, and bold styling.
