Paper
Agriculture in California: Basic Land Use Data Collection
Track: Water Resources
Author(s): Pat Parsons

The task is to translate data collected 'in the field' to produce a viable, queryable spatially oriented dataset that could be displayed accurately with various base maps. The system needs to be able to incorporate historical data and changes in technology that result in savings of both time and money. Basic development has been done using AutoCad, GeoSql, ArcView, ER Mapper, aerial photography, DRG's, and DEM's. ArcGIS with Mobile GPS on Tablet PC's with DOQQ referenced satellite imagery for field data entry will be the future of this program. The result is an ever changing "Big Picture" of Agriculture in California.
