<br />, <br />~. <br /> <br />I "- <br />Ii) <br />;;.'~ . ~ <br /> <br />As previously noted, the use of GIS technology is very important to <br />the study partners. Increased utilization of GIS technology into <br />fundamental study e~lements is being pursued. The hydrologic <br />element of the study will integrate land use, soil type, and land <br />cover information in both vector and raster data forms to compute <br />discharge values. Building outlines will be captured and will be <br />used to attach county appraisal district valuations of structures <br />in the economic evaluation process of damage determination and <br />alternatives justification. Since the study began, we have <br />documented specific computer methodologies that will be utilized <br />during the Feasibili'ty Study. This was accomplished by conducting <br />a prototype Methodology Study that was completed last year which <br />explored methodology options and "debugged" technological and data <br />integration problems. We are currently developing the actual <br />floodplain and econo::nic models that will be used in the study. As <br />we proceed in this regard, we will continue to evaluate and <br />document all methodologies being used. <br /> <br />As this study proceeds, we will continue to find new opportunities <br />to utilize GIS technology that are very exciting but tremendously <br />challenging. We are, presently developing a comprehensive set of <br />GIS standards for this base mapping as well as standards for more <br />traditional types of planning-scale base maps for use throughout <br />the region. <br /> <br />t <br />t <br />t' <br />( <br />~. <br />, <br />~. <br />~ <br />t'i <br />~ <br />" <br />t <br />i:, <br />'-',' <br />~' <br />;~ <br />, <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />w. <br />" <br />
