DEP GIS Mapping Effectiveness
Público DepositedContenido Descargable
open in viewerAbstract Water and sewer utilities across the country are struggling with aging infrastructure. Simultaneously, climate change is causing more extremes in temperature as well as increasing frequency and strength of storms. As a result, water and sewer systems are increasingly susceptible to damage. The use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) has become an important tool for both water and sewer utilities to manage their systems and increase preparedness for climate change. Our project sponsored by The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection evaluated the work done through the Water Utility Resilience Program. This program provided water utilities with Geographic Information System data and training done by Tighe & Bond. We found water utilities need assistance training GIS staff.
