Abstract
The Role of Web-Based Geographic Information Systems in Water UtilitiesTrack: Water Resources
Author(s): Liping Wang, Jerson Rivera
This paper presents the Web-based geographic information system used by Tampa Bay Water, the largest wholesale water utility in Florida, in its day-to-day operations. This GIS furnishes interactive, Web-based applications focused on delivering water production, water level, rainfall data, and ongoing construction project information including the largest reverse osmosis desalination water treatment plant in the western hemisphere. This tool also provides various query interfaces, data visualization, and trend analysis capabilities to a staff of hydrogeologists, engineers, operators, and public relations personnel. This paper demonstrates the value that a well-designed GIS can provide to the daily operation of a water utility.
