Changes in <br />power operations result from changes in annual dam operations which affects power supply <br />and its costs. Power generation monitoring can also be used for estimating water discharge <br />rates and volwnes. <br /> <br />The Information Technology Program <br />Extensive data and infonnation currently exists in the GCMRC relating to resource <br />levels, quiility, and relationship to other resources. Potentially equal amounts of data and <br />infonnation exists within museums, universities, state and Federal agencies, etc. However, <br />much of this information has not been evaluated to assess the relationship of resource <br />attributes and differing flow regimes, <br />Several areas of focus will be implemented through the infonnation technology <br />program, including the following: <br />1. Development of protocols for data collection, processing and use. <br />2. Development of extensive databases across all resources and a database <br />management system. <br />3. Development of a robust geographic infonnation system to accommodate <br />multiple layers associated with all resources of interest to stakeholders. <br />4. Development of databases associated with remotely sensed data not yet <br />incorporated in the GCES/GCMRC database system. <br />5. Stakeholder direct access to selected data and infonnation in the database <br />management system and GIS. <br />6. Development of outreach programs to transport data and information to <br /> <br />November S. 1998 <br />Second Draft - Do Not Cite, Photocopy, or DIstribute <br />
