Abstract


Paper
An Integrated Water Management GIS for Broward County, Florida
Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Francis Henderson

The lower east coast area of the Everglades ecosystem is a highly urbanized area that is dependent on a complex system of canals, culverts, and structures for water management. With restoration of the Everglades, urban water managers will be challenged to conserve more and make the most of what water falls directly on this area. A GIS has been developed that provides for improvement in the coordination of water management among the 23 districts and 30 cities within Broward County. The GIS data and ArcView and ArcIMS applications that support and enhance an integrated water management plan are discussed.
