GIS App of the Day for GIS Day
Piece County Washington unveiled Where Does The Water Go? for GIS Day. The app “enables users to pinpoint an address or location on a map, and then GIS technology calculates the direction and flow of stormwater based on topography. It traces the water’s path as it flows to ditches, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers and Puget Sound.” The app is mostly focussed on changing resident behavior and helping them understand how their action impact the local water system.
The app is a simple, one task type tool built (from looking at the source of the webpage) using DoJo and OpenLayers.
