Abstract
Economical but Effective GIS Solutions for Sanitary Systems
Track: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Robert M. Rowe
This paper will demonstrate how Herbert Rowland & Grubic Inc. (HRG) utilizes cheaper economical means to build GIS systems for sanitary sewers. We will demonstrate how small municipalities with limited budgets can acquire GIS and develop a GIS system that accurately depicts their needs. We will discuss how one municipality decided that they could not spend thousands of dollars on a GIS system. HRG was able to assist them in the development of their system by using a handheld GPS unit for data collection in addition to air photography. This community now has an accurate basemap along with an accurate map of their sanitary sewer system.
