SPDSS <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board, Colorado Division of Water Resources <br />A Glimpse of Future GIS Products Coming in Phase 3 <br />The SPDSS team will create visualizations of SPDSS datasets to <br />gain a broader understanding of decision support systems. This <br />may include simulated ? yovers of irrigated lands (left), 3D <br />visualizations of ground water data and aquifers, and changes in <br />irrigation and water use over time. <br />Phase 3 will also mark the start of mapping historic irrigated lands <br />in the South Platte Basin that can be applied to consumptive use <br />models. Landsat satellite imagery and historic aerial photography <br />will be used to map irrigated lands in the basin for the 1950s, 1970s, <br />and 1980s. Water sources will be assigned using the current 2001 <br />irrigation service areas as an accurate starting point. <br />The SPDSS team has created an Internet Map Server ( StateIMS ) <br />that allows users to view and query the CDSS data in a map-based <br />environment (below). Users will not need any special software other <br />than an internet browser and a connection to the internet. The map <br />will be statewide, and users can zoom and pan to any part of the state <br />to view the desired data. <br />More Exciting <br />Phase 3 Products <br />http://cdss.state.co.us/ <br />Other Phase 3 products being <br />developed and coming to the <br />website include surface water, <br />groundwater and consumptive <br />use models. <br />Website Up and <br />While the CDSS website is experiencing a behind-the-scenes makeover, the website <br />is operational and accessible by users. <br />Running During <br />For more information regarding SPDSS, previously developed CDSS products, <br />Improvements <br />or upcoming activities, visit the CDSS website or contact Ray Alvarado, Project <br />Manager of SPDSS, at Ray.Alvarado@state.co.us. <br />http://cdss.state.co.us/ <br />
