What is Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and how can it aid in water planning?
A GIS is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage and present all types of geographical data.
Geographical Data:Latitude/LongitudeAddressesRemote sensing data
The application of GIS in water planningMobile GIS with smartphones & tablets: citizens collect water problems and report
Mobile GIS: collect accurate streamdata and upload to an enterprise GIS
Web server GIS: develop maps of water projects for your team & share online! More from Janet
Desktop GIS: GIS Technician conducts analysis of sediment transport and produces maps for meetings
GIS Data Creation, Analysis & Map ProductionSPATIAL DATA CREATION & ANALYSIS:
Edit data in maps using a desktop, web, or mobile interface
Analyze spatial information, perform statisticsPresent the results through a map, table or chart
Skill level: GIS professional
Software Examples: Open Source (May be modified by programmer & some are
free)Bundled- FWTools &GIS Knoppix
Enterprise GIS-PostGIS, Desktop- GRASS, JUMP, OpenEV, Quantum GIS
Proprietary (Software code has limited modification outside of developer & cost is involved)
Enterprise GIS-ESRI ArcGIS for Server
Desktop-ArcGIS for Desktop
ESRI Conservation GIS Grant Programhttp://www.conservationgis.org/aaesrigrants.html
Web GIS Use
Map Use Examples Yelp, Google Earth,
other maps imbedded in Websites
Skill level: Any internet user
An example of a map created with open source GIS
software using a Google map platform imbedded in the
State Regional Water Quality Control Board website. This interactive map is serving spatial data created by a
desktop GIS professional using ESRI desktop ArcGIS software, note that you can locate
your Regional Water Board by entering your street address.
