Abstract
Developing a GIS System for Managing Stormwater DischargeTrack: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Jay McCurley, Jianling Li
This paper describes the use of GIS to develop a tool to manage storm water systems for the Texas Department of Transportation in Dallas and Collin counties. TxDOT is required to implement programs that monitor the quality of storm waters discharged into the U.S. water system. A large amount of data has been generated from these programs. There is an urgent need to develop a system for managing and analyzing this data. This project demonstrates that GIS is a solution for such needs. It allows storm water managers to visualize the spatial patterns and analyze the trends. The project provides lessons for similar implementations elsewhere.
