Welcome!
Hello, Samantbl, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:45, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Potential Sources for GIS and hydrology
Marsh, William M. Landscape Planning: Environmental Perspectives. 5th ed., Wiley, 2010.

This source has a brief summary of pros and cons of using GIS for topographic maps, p.96-97.

Clark, M. J. (1998), Putting water in its place: a perspective on GIS in hydrology and water management. Hydrol. Process., 12: 823–834. doi:10.1002/(SICI)1099-1085(199805)12:6<823::AID-HYP656>3.0.CO;2-Z

This source provides an overview of GIS's use in hydrological and water management planning. It claims that ultimately, the extent to which GIS is useful to analyze any subject (not just hydrology) is the spatial resolution and quality of its data.

I could also potentially add a link to the GIS in environmental contamination Wiki page, which has a much better citation style and may help users find the answers they are looking for.
