  1. Part I: GIS Tools for Water PlannersandPart II: Sierra Nevada Conservancy GIS Water Analysis Projects Liz van Wagtendonk Sierra Nevada Conservancy July 17, 2012 2012 Sierra Water Work Group Summit

  2. 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/Longitude Addresses Remote sensing data

  3. The application of GIS in water planning Mobile GIS: collect accurate stream data and upload to an enterprise GIS Mobile GIS with smartphones & tablets: citizens collect water problems and report 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

  4. GIS Data Creation, Analysis & Map Production • SPATIAL DATA CREATION & ANALYSIS: • Edit data in maps using a desktop, web, or mobile interface • Analyze spatial information, perform statistics • Present 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

  5. ESRI Conservation GIS Grant Programhttp://www.conservationgis.org/aaesrigrants.html

  6. 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.

  7. Web GIS Map Creation and Analysis for the Water & Conservation Community Skill Level: Any internet user Software Cost: Free for Data Basin and Conservation Grants Available through ESRI Websites: ArcGIS.com databasin.org Note more limited functionality

  8. Sierra Nevada Conservancy GIS Water Analyses & Mapping Projects • Grant Projects • Mountain Counties Analysis for DWR State Water Plan • SNC Watershed Organization Finder on our Website • Mokelumne Environmental Benefits Project • System Indicators Project

  9. Mokelumne Environmental Benefits Project

  10. Identifying risks to water infrastructure from sediment deposition from large fires

  11. The 303-d Impaired Waterbodies Data showing rivers impacted by Mercury in the Central Sierra,
