Cached Cow-How AGOL/Collector Saved Resources to Protect the Aquifer
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Sarah Eason Watson, Brent Doty

AGOL/Collector for ArcGIS have revolutionized how the EAA and CoSA conduct one of the highest priority initiatives for the aquifer: protecting the Recharge Zone by purchasing the development rights and preserving natural land in perpetuity. Each year, the Aquifer Protection team visits 80+ ranches across 126 miles in Texas. Cached mobile web maps are used for navigating, inspecting and collecting data on each conservation easement. Goodbye to juggling topo maps, GPS, field books and cameras!
