Applications of GIS in Storm Water Management
Identify flow of water to and from locations.
Identify different types of pollution sources throughout drainage basin.
Monitoring and compliance by storing lab values and enabling pattern analysis.
Modeling to discern need for improved erosion control and implementation of erosion control projects.
Indicate proximity of endangered species habitats.
Identification of the type of permitting needed based upon proximity to and correlation with specific factors. …And more!
The interdisciplinary nature and density of information to be processed, requires the use of GIS. The entire process, from permitting, inspection, and closure, requires mapped visual representations as well as the analytical ability facilitated by GIS.
Necessitating ComplianceClean Water Act (CWA) – 1972
(Amended from 1948 Federal Water Pollution Control Act)
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program- 1972
For monitoring and compliance of pollutant discharge US waterways
To enable levels of accountability for discharge into the drainage basin
Fostering healthier waterways and ecosystems
Using GIS for different aspects of storm water management
