1 GIS and Web Technologies to Improve Irrigation Districts Presented To: Montana Association of Dam and Canal Systems Workshop Presented By: Brian Fischer, CFM GIS Manager October 07, 2010

2 What you won t see! Canal Lining Dams Rehabilitation Water Structure Design

3 What you will see!

4 What is GIS? Geographic Information Systems captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that refers to a location Common software includes: ESRI ArcGIS ArcView AutoCAD WebGIS (web mapping) Not just maps

5

6

7 What is GPS? Global Positioning System System of satellites that allow you to calculate your position on the earth Commonly used for data capture/creation 3 grades of GPS Recreation grade (10-50 feet accuracy) Mapping grade (sub meter accuracy) Survey grade (centimeter accuracy)

8 What is GPS? Horizontal vs Vertical Accuracy Commonly used to collect data Ex.) pivots, pumps, turnouts Examples hardware Trimble Magellan Garmin

9 Why?

10 Why might GIS be important to ID s? Institutional information is documented Staff turnover Sharing Info with Federal and State Agencies Accurate information is important in disputes Gives staff tools Gives board information to make decisions Ultimate goal is to save time and money

11 What GIS information can be created or used? Irrigation District Data (Local) State Data (DNRC, Dept. of Revenue) Federal Data (USBR, USGS)

12 Boundary and Divisions

13 Parcels, Fields, Canals, Turnouts

14 Structures / O&M Data

15 State and Federal Data

16 Process Plan Create or Collect Data Digitize or GPS Generate Products Maps and Software Maintenance Expand When Needed and evaluate Return on Investment (ROI)

17 General Approaches Fort Shaw Irrigation District Located near Great Falls What worked best Sit down with ID (board members or ditch riders) Map things on aerial photos printouts Verify questions with GPS in the field Very cost effective!

18 General Approaches Hysham Irrigation District Located east of Billings Collected data by survey grade GPS Data can be re-used for engineering projects Collected by Morrison Marierle, Inc.

19 General Approaches Find an approach that works for your situation Benefits More accurate, than previous maps Gives district sense of data ownership Captures institutional knowledge Easier to updated maps in the future

20 GIS Products Maps Wall Maps Map Books Custom Maps Data (GeoDatabase) Web-based MapViewers or GIS Software

21 Maps Atlas / Wall Map

22 Web-based GIS No Software, only need a web browser TrueGIS Internet GIS product Browse map layers Search Data, Link to Information Measure Reports Print

23 Web-based GIS

24 Web GIS Map Layers Navigation Tools Map Layers

25 Searching Options Searching (Search for Field / Water User) Enter Search Options (e.g. Farm Unit = 35)

26 ID Features (e.g. Farm Unit, Pasture Leases, Canals, Turnouts) ID Features Tool (Click on map)

27 Measure Tools (Draw on map) Measure - Planning (e.g. Length or Area Measurements)

28 Linking to Information Customer / Accounting Data County Property Data Scanned Drawings Digital Photos Real-time Flows Water Usage Water Rights Info

29 Customer Accounting Data

30 Linking to Information Endless Possibilities

31 Advance Tools - Reporting TrueGIS Easy to use and integrated GIS solution for Irrigation Districts

32 Decision Support Systems Klamath Watershed in Oregon and California Regional Scale Watershed Management and Planning

33 Integrated GIS Solution Water Demand Forecasting O&M tracking Measurement tracking and monitoring Planning, Conservation and Improvement projects Weed control One-stop shop

34 Again Why? Digital Record of Institutional Knowledge Improve Access to Information Easier to Update Maps Saves Time, Improves Operations Settles Disputes Planning and Conservation to reduce costs and protect the resources!

35 Questions/Comments Brian Fischer Houston Engineering, Inc. GIS Manager A Leader in GIS Solutions for Irrigation Districts
