G.I.S. Mapping of the Watershed
| Crystal
Shaw has developed a geographic information systems G.I.S. map of
the watershed. This computerized map allows the group to
extract information such as the total area of watersheds, areas of
wetlands, and proximity of wetlands to the creeks. It will be
expanded to include land use and potential sources of turbidity,
such as pastures and road crossings. |
 |
| The information in the G.I.S. will be very important
in Crystal's project of developing a water budget and a model for
groundwater flow in the basin. |
