AbstractTools for California's Drinking Water Source Assessment Program Track: Water Resources Author(s): Michael S Byrne The California Department of Health Services (DHS) is responsible for mapping and completing Drinking Water Source Assessments for 16,000 active public drinking water sources in California. Using Visual Fox Pro, Trimble Pathfinder Office, Microsoft Visual Basic, and Esri's ArcIMS, the Information Center for the Environment at UC Davis has developed tools to capture locations using GPS, delineate groundwater protection zones, and incorporate possible contaminating activities. Interactive Web solutions and thick client data feedback mechanisms were used. Completed assessments for all sources are expected by spring 2002.
