The databases were developed by staff <br />and outside contractors using different software platforms to meet short-term purposes, which have since <br />turned into long-term needs. Due to the inconsistency in designs and data needs and uses, it has become <br />apparent that an overall review of existing CWCB databases is needed, along with recommendations and <br />a comprehensive plan to consolidate and upgrade the databases to meet future needs. <br /> <br />In order to maximize the use of the various databases by all CWCB sections and to make the <br />same data available to the general public through the Internet, it is necessary to determine if these <br />databases can be combined, how they are accessed and how existing databases can be maintained in the <br />future. <br /> <br />The long-term goal is to develop databases that are designed to meet the needs of the CWCB staff, the <br />Board and the public, which are flexible enough to address water resource information needs in the future. <br />This study will: <br /> <br />. Review all existing CWCB databases. <br />. Determine if existing databases are meeting the intendcd needs of the original design. <br />. Interview CWCB stafTto see if existing database's can be redesigned and or combined into one easily <br />maintainable database and still meet the needs of the agency. <br />. Provide a long-range plan on how to achieve an easily maintainable database(s) that meet the needs of <br />the CWCB. This will include a cost estimate as well as a proposed schedule to accomplish this task. <br />. Determine if the existing database software platfonns are adequate to meet future needs. <br />
