Soon you will be able to access data
from the STORET Warehouse by !
creating maps using the EPA's Web-based geographic
information system (GIS) tools EnviroMapper for
Water and Window to My Environment. These
mapping tools dynamically display information about
bodies of water in the United States and will allow
you to create customized maps that portray the
nation's surface waters along with a collection of
STORET monitoring data. EnviroMapper and
Window to My Environment may be used to view
environmental information from the national level
down to the community level, and provide the ability
to pan, zoom, and identify map features.
