Tool	Recommendation
Hydro Centerline	Converts hydrographic polygon features into individual polyline centerlines. This tool is used by the ArcGIS Defense Mapping solution to create polyline hydrographic features at scales where a polygon feature is inappropriate or not useful. It produces an approximate centerline from input polygons. This centerline serves as a polyline representation of the original polygon feature.
