Abstract

County of Riverside Proximity Analysis and Pesticide Regulation Mapping
Track: Agriculture
Authors: Ariana Gonzales

This project provides a web map application to be utilized by the County of Riverside Agricultural Commissioner's Office. The application contains tools that will locate pesticide use throughout Riverside County and conduct analysis that can buffer distances around sensitive locations such as residential areas, schools, and waterways. A system such as this is important to the health and safety of the community. This application will also provide the user with crop-type information and location. The primary users of this application are the Agriculture Commissioner's Office, farmers looking to apply for a permit to use pesticide, concerned citizens in Riverside County, and agencies looking to build in Riverside County.
