The Scatter Point module is used to interpolate from groups of scattered data points to grids or TINs. The Scatter Point module can be used to interpolate from a set of scattered xy points representing something like rain gages to a finite difference grid or to basin centroids for establishing rainfall curves for HEC-1. A variety of interpolation schemes are supported.

Scattered data can be created using the create point tool. The most common use of scattered data are for creating water surface elevations to compute a floodplain delineation. Generally in such cases you will want to take advantage of a centerline and cross sections to develop a larger data set for flood plain delineation.
