Water

Dedicated to solving the aquatic information management needs of the U.S. Forest Service and the agency professionals who care for the "Land" and serve the "People"

The WATER Team has been chartered by the Natural Resources Information System directors to steward the WATER module - an ORACLE database and user tool set application with GIS connections. The WATER application is designed to implement corporate data standards and promote integrated management of aquatic resource information, including maps and related data about stream and lake systems plus water improvements and rights. This information can be analyzed and presented at multiple geographic scales, both within and across administrative and jurisdictional boundaries.
