US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) division owns dams among other entities across the country. NRCS developed GeoObserver for Dams, a web based application to improve the integrity and accuracy of data by enabling state and field officers to update location and attributes information of these dams. This application uses hi-resolution imagery to assist field office users to improve the spatial and attribute information about the dams.
