With increasing availability of raw, analyzed geospatial data, there is an urgent need to develop way and means for providing easy accessibility and promote geospatial data sharing. The development of an internet based gis services in state of Nebraska showcases the benefits sharing of geospatial hydrological data among different department, resource managers and policy makers. We developed a integrated hydrological information system with post processing tools and then integrated it a web interface to assess current raw and analyzed geospatial data availability for several key topic areas for hydrological assessments. Evapotranspiration maps processed using energy balance model METRIC and hydrological dataset created by distributed water balance model are deployed on HIS for distributing among different funding agencies.
NebHydro is a set of software applications for publishing analyzing hydrologic datasets on the Internet. The system in available online on www.NebHydro.unl.edu for stakeholders, state departments, farmers and irrigation managers.
