Anacostia River Watershed Database & Mapping Project IMS Web Portal

The Anacostia River Watershed Database and Mapping Project is comprised of a contaminants database, along with a GIS mapping component. The original watershed project focused on toxics and contaminated sediments, and was available in CD format.

In 2007, the project was expanded to include more GIS themes focusing on past, current, and future restoration projects. This information is served on an Internet Mapping Server website, along with an accompanying watershed webguide. In addition to the IMS web portal, the most recent Query Manager dataset on contamination is also available on this website (Query Manager data sets).

The goal of this decision-making tool is to provide the data foundation from which local, state, and federal agencies plus local interest groups could identify, prioritize, and monitor watershed management and restoration decisions.
