Author(s): Soumya Chennapragada, Karen Franz
This paper discusses how GIS is used at San Diego Coastkeeper to generate information packed maps and interpretations of the water quality monitoring data collected from 10(out of 11) watersheds of San Diego hydrologic region. The various steps involved in the collection, processing and analysis of data are explained with focus on the spatial and temporal data analysis and correlations. Our Water Quality Monitoring program is completely fueled by volunteer effort. Usage of GIS enables us to generate informative and appealing maps which greatly enhance comprehension of our monitoring and sampling results.This data is published on a community resource portal, our wiki site, at www.sdwatersheds.org
