WET: A Watershed Exploration Tool
Project Abstract:
We are developing a prototype Watershed Exploration Tool (WET) for providing public access to historical permitting and mitigation plans. The project brings together university, non-profit, local and regional government agencies, and private sector partners and initially focuses on the San Diego River Watershed. The partnership's overarching goal is to propose a framework for building an integrated watershed-based information system and set of visualization tools that can help break down barriers to effective planning, environmental management at a regional/watershed scale, and public access to watershed-related data.
|
Project Goals:
Illustrate through a demonstrable prototype, innovative concepts in Watershed Exploration Tools that enable greater efficiency in corporate environmental management systems and government regulation.
|
Research Priorities (and suggested topics for investigation):
Create a Watershed Planning and Support System (WaPSS) based on archived documents and data.
Create Spatio-temporal query interfaces.

Full Description of Project:
A Watershed Tool: Providing public access to historical permitting and mitigation plans.
We propose a watershed-based partnership that brings together university researchers, non-government agencies, public and private companies, all seeking to address crucial problems in sustainable economic and regional development. In forming this partnership, our primary goal is to develop new approaches for designing Watershed Planning Support Systems. We have two primary objectives: (1) Involve the participation of diverse government, non-government and private sector organizations, and (2) Provide a “best of breed” solution that is practical and cost-effective when scaled.
