Author: N. Rao Sankarmanchi 227 Granite Run Drive Suite 206 Phone: 717-560-7500 The Chester County Water Resources Authority selected Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. to help prepare the Chester County Water Resources Management Plan, which will integrate water resources management and water supply planning for 26 watersheds. This project involves gathering a variety of data including more than 30 GIS coverages and dozens of tables of information on drainage areas in six Pennsylvania counties and parts of Maryland and Delaware. Making sense of massive amounts of data in varied formats, with differing levels of detail and accuracy, created the challenge. The combination of ArcView GIS, ArcInfo, and Microsoft Access with advanced planning made the data management task efficient and successful. We will share our insights on the complexity of watershed data management and show how advanced planning and integrated data management can be crucial to a project's success. |
