fs> r:1 Viewing WA TERS Data with Google Earth Coming Summer 2009! What is it? Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files providing users with easy access to geospatial WATERS data using Google Earth (GE). The Office of Water will release both an image- and a vector- based version of the WATERS KML file. The image version will utilize OGC compliant map services to quickly display WATERS features in GE. The vector version will consume live KML feeds which provide real-time access to analysis tools and additional information about specific WATERS features. Available WATERS Data National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) NHDP/us Catchments Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) Water Program Features indexed to the NHD: o Assessed Waters o o Impaired Waters o Beaches o Combined Sewer o Overflows o o Clean Watersheds o Needs Survey o Fish Consumption Advisories Clean Water State Revolving Fund Projects No Discharge Zones Permitted Dischargers Water Quality Standards Main Features O Access to framework geospatial datasets stored in the WATERS Database, such as NHD, WBD, NHDP/ws, and to general purpose services Dialog boxes providing access to tools, services, and information, such as NHD feature name query, total waters, up/downstream navigation, watershed reports, ATTAINS reports, etc. e Access to indexed water program features, with hyperlinks to additional attributes, and context sensitive analysis services, such as up/downstream navigation and watershed reports Full descriptive legend showing layer symbology Integrated information frame for analysis results For more information, contact: Pravin Rana Phone: (202)564-1909 Email: rana.pravin@epa.gov or waters_support@epa.gov "WATERS - A Strategic Resource for Informed Decision-Making" May 2009 ------- S3R £rfte- #%£«« "' * ir^-ril ' !I L,^f iSivv'-^""^ h'h/ff!?? >^i ^Ttv 2"l~nn9|nB'nririnnnnnn DDDDDDDaDII o> o o CM O) c: c: .o o CD Q o CD CD O CO CD o: O 5) i CO a: ------- |
