Discover the pivotal role of GIS in reclaimed water data management and how GIS can streamline the mapping process, fostering enhanced field and office staff collaboration, and ensuring data accuracy and accessibility. This overview will provide a robust understanding of the potential of GIS in enhancing environmental stewardship, promoting efficient resource management, and facilitating compliance with environmental regulations, for a more sustainable and well-managed urban environment.
Key takeaways
The role of GIS in managing green infrastructure and reclaimed water.
GIS technologies and their applications in environmental management.
Lessons from real-world case studies on successful GIS implementation.
Strategies for overcoming local challenges using GIS solutions.
AGENDA
Moderator's Welcome Remarks
Aaron Addison, Executive Director, WGIC
A brief overview of GIS for Streamlining Stormwater Management, and introduction of the presenters.
Esri's Green Infrastructure Inspection Solution
Brandi Rank, Senior Product Engineer, Esri
An overview of Esri tools for green infrastructure inspection.
A GIS End User Perspective for Small Communities and Stormwater Management
Gary Hoaglund, GIS Manager, Coleman Engineering Company/Colligo GIS
Cloud-based GIS enables smaller communities with little or no GIS experience to achieve significant results in stormwater management. Streamline tracking infrastructure like catch basins, manholes, and pipes, all through a user friendly and intuitive interface. Make data-driven decisions with a minimal investment in hardware, software and IT.
Flood The Digital Database, Not Your Streets
David Grafton, MS, Geospatial Solutions Lead, Bad Elf
Dave explores the pivotal role of GIS in mitigating stormwater issues for urban environments. Discover how embracing GIS technology can revolutionize stormwater management for your city. Three compelling reasons why GIS is the key to success in this endeavor will be highlighted: High-Accuracy Asset Locations, Detailed Topography Model and Data-Driven Decision-Making. Join the discussion on how GIS and GPS is the new cornerstone of a resilient, data-driven approach to mitigating stormwater issues in your city. Don't let your streets flood; flood the digital database with powerful GIS solutions!
Pairing Hydraulic Modeling & GIS to Gain Insights and Mitigate Risks in Stormwater Systems
Simon Newton, Product Success Engineer - Water, Bentley Systems
Learn how and why hydraulic modeling is an essential tool for designing new and upgrading or rehabilitating existing stormwater systems. Don’t let rain events cause havoc in your piping system. Use hydraulic modeling for greater insights to understand how the rain is getting into your system, how big and deep pipes need to be and to simulate and validate that your system can handle storm events. While GIS is great for mapping the existing system, it is necessary to pair GIS with hydraulic analysis for proper understand and better decision making.
Ecopia Solutions for Streamlining Stormwater Management
Justin Proctor, Associate - Public Sector, Ecopia
Learn how AI-based mapping enables stormwater professionals to create and maintain impervious surface and land cover databases efficiently and cost-effectively without sacrificing accuracy. We will also show real-world examples of how municipalities across North America are leveraging AI-based geospatial data to enhance stormwater utility fee equity, improve and maintain critical infrastructure, and increase climate resilience.
