Integrating GIS with Water Resource Management
Defining Issue: To develop a GIS user interface to improve hydrologic modeling and provide a new framework for water allocation decision making. Methodology: GIS techniques are employed with economic models to relate location of water demand to water supply areas. After the coverages and attributes are ready, the interface will create a database required by the modeling. Through an interactive interactive process in which the user is asked to input some parameters, the geographic coverages are transferred into a network. Then the network is used to create an economic input/output model. By solving the model, water use multipliers in different locations are generated. Finally, the output gives the rank of water use multipliers and shows it on the coverage. This application can be used to improve the efficiency of regional water resource allocation.
