GIS - Drainage Assessment

This session will review how GIS technology is rapidly changing the way watershed drainage assessments are determined. The focus will be on the process of identifying land owners who should be assessed for county drainage reconstruction and maintenance projects and how GIS can automate the calculations of corresponding rates. GIS allows the user to select combinations of assessment methods that could be used for calculating the fairest assessment. Applying advanced GIS processes, county surveyors and engineers can now use sophisticated tools to quickly and accurately formulate what-if scenarios to help in calculating the fairest assessment for watershed drainage.
