1 Simplified GIS Requirements: New Data Models and Standards for Future WWDC Projects November 15 th, 2017 Technical Training

2 Agenda Project Introduction Data Model and Metadata Framework Plan and Technical Memo Review Project Deliverables Core & Base Data Support and Resources

3 What is the Problem? Inadequate Information Lack of state and regional data needed to improve planning for water supplies today and in the future Lack of Consistency Different Projects Master Plans Watershed Studies River Basin Various Contractors High Costs Data is a significant budget item for reconnaissance and feasibility studies

4 Project Background Desired Outcomes Consistent GIS requirements that provide clarity to consultants Tools that help develop more credible, focused, and contemporary data. Improve usability and access

5 Improved Presentation Decision Support Water GIS Consistent & Credible Information Project Background Benefits Lower Costs of Future Studies Interagency Coordination

6 Project Background Outputs of Project Framework Plan GIS Standards Technical Memo Bear River Basin Geodatabase Project Specific Geodatabase Templates & Base Data Geodatabase epermit Spatial Tool Training

7 Section 1 Framework Plan and Technical Memo Review

8 Framework Plan and GIS Tech Memo Framework Plan Contents Existing GIS Program Interagency Coordination and Consistency Technology and Data for Water Resource Management Implementation

9 Framework Plan and GIS Tech Memo GIS Standards Technical Memo Metadata Standards Coordinate System Standard Confidence in Data Accuracy Water System Mapping

10 ? Section 1 Framework Plan & Technical Memo Review

11 Section 2 Core and Base Layers

12 Core Datasets Foundation of the water GIS Narrows focus and scope Only data that is consistently collected through WDO projects Only data that has a role beyond the original project

13 Core Datasets Master Geodatabase will be built as projects are delivered Datasets managed by WDO and Water Resource Data System There will be additional datasets that can be linked to the Core data.

14 Core Datasets Hydrology Water Systems Assessment Water Projects Streamflow Structures Rosgen Stream Type Study Area Point of Use Irrigated Lands Potential Projects Conveyance Upland Sources Existing Projects Reservoirs Water Supply Water Availability

15 Focus on Core Geodatabase River Basin Plans Watershed Studies Master Plans Instream Flow Hydrology Water Rights Irrigated lands Water Projects Water Availability Climate Environmental & Recreational Water Use Groundwater Hydrology Water Rights Irrigated lands Water Projects Watershed assessment Physical Inventory Biological Inventory Anthropogenic Inventory Base Data Water Rights Irrigated lands Water Projects Water Use Structural Inventory & assessment Land Ownership Easements Hazard assessment Demand Projections Hydrology Water Rights

16 Tools: Geospatial Templates

17 Common Base Datasets Data packaged by WDO to provide a consistent base for the development of the Core datasets. GIS data compiled statewide

18 Common Base Datasets Reference Hydrography Groundwater PLSS National Hydrography Dataset Cross Sections SEO Districts SEO Source Names Geology Water Divisions Groundwater Special Districts Potential Contaminant

19 ? Section 2 Core and Base Layers

20 Section 3 Data Model and Metadata

21 Metadata Creation Metadata Standard Fields Tags (keywords) Summary (Purpose) Why the data were created, Geographic extent, When the data were created Projection Scale Description (Abstract) Details on Scale or Resolution, Date the data represent (ground conditions) How the data were created (including the base source used), Completeness Credits (Who created or updated the data)

22 Metadata Creation Metadata Fields and Attributes Contact_ID Contractor Creation_Edit_Date Horizontal_Accuracy

23 Data Model Tools: Simple QA/QC Editor Tracking Every feature gets metadata Standardized Field Domains Accuracy Standards Survey Grade Hand-held GPS Aerial Photo 1/4 1/4 Centroid epermit Spatial Tool

24 Data Model

25 ? Section 3 Data Model and Metadata

26 Section 3 Project Deliverables

27 Data Creation Master Plan Template Minimalist approach. Additional data tables or fields will be needed in the Water Systems Dataset depending on the particulars of the project.

28 Project Deliverables Completed project geodatabase with metadata Project supporting data sets Provide metadata Geodatabase format preferred other GIS formats accepted NOTE: Do not need to deliver base layers back to WDO, but document layers and date used.
