NJ-GeoWeb: Supporting Transparency and Decision Making through Interactive Mapping and Reporting
Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Seema Gopinathan, Lou Jacoby

NJ-GeoWeb is the NJDEP's next generation internet mapping application providing users with environmental information from a statewide, county or local perspective. With NJ-GeoWeb users can view and query the best of the NJDEP's GIS data, and produce environmental reports with data from NJDEP's Data Miner, providing a new level of transparency to NJDEP's decision-making. An internet database reporting tool, NJDEP Data Miner is populated live from several NJDEP environmental databases associated with all the large NJDEP media programs. It is NJDEP's hope that NJ-GeoWeb will assist users to become more engaged in decision-making about environmental issues in their communities. Through the use of profiles, NJDEP can present targeted user groups customized versions of NJ-GeoWeb to assist them in getting the information they need to answer an environmental question or concern. Included in this release, are profiles for Ambient Water Monitoring, Geology, Well Drillers, and a general environmental profile called GeoWeb.
