INTRODUCTION

AT ISSUE: Develop New Maps for GBRA’s Web Site Current map is a static map only Shows watershed boundaries only with

no other info

GOAL OF THE PROJECT:Create new maps for addition to their

web siteInteractive maps for visitors to see and

useCreate data which can be downloaded

from site

Current Map:

Prepared for GBRA’s 2007 Basin Highlights Report

Methodology

DATA MUST UNDERGO THE FOLLOWING STEPS

Phase 1: Data Collection and Development

Phase 2: Data Assembly (Arc-GIS Software)

Phase 3: Web-GIS Assembly (Manifold Software)

PHASE 1: DATA COLLECTION

Source: touringtexas.com

Task

Geo-Tex Spatial Solutions (GTSS) must collect data to built GIS-web interactive maps

GTSS must make available about 11 different types of layers to help inform the wide range of GBRA website users

Data must be from reliable sources

Data Collection Methods

Internet

Phone

Excel files

Data Sources

Issues with Data

The rights to use the data Waiting to receive data Finding incomplete data Size of data Overall time spent looking for data

Phase 2: Data Assembly

The purpose of the Data Assembly is to determine which map data is most suitable for the needs of GBRA. The data will be assembled using a GIS software and will include :

Data provided by GBRA Data discovered from outside agencies Develop data collected from raw data

However, even after the completion date, it is expected Geo-Tex may need to continue to collect and assemble data as needed.

PHASE 3: WEB GIS

By using the Manifold Program (Web GIS) it makes the maps interactive with the user in many ways.

The World-Wide Web opens doors for everyone with internet to make available GeoSpatial Information.

Phase 3: WEB GIS

Benefits to the User:

View only layers they would like to see Makes the maps easier and faster to

download Easy to Navigate GIS information available to all society

members

PHASE 3: WEB GIS (Sample Map)
