1 Web-Based Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to Implement and Monitor Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution Management in the Imperial Valley, California University of Redlands The Redlands Institute Serene Ong

2 Project Objectives and Process Presentation Overview Review GIS Database Review web-based tools & demo

3 Project Goals Support SWRCB, RWQCB, IID and ICFB for sediment TMDL implementation and compliance. Provide better access to water quality and farm practices data. Develop GIS database and web map application, custom query and report tools Anticipated Outcomes More efficient use of existing information Increased use of water monitoring and related data for TMDL management/research Recommended standards for formatting and reporting water quality and agricultural practices data

4 Stakeholders State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Imperial Irrigation District (IID) Imperial County Farm Bureau (ICFB) Communities and wildlife around Imperial Valley and Salton Sea

5 The Process

6 The Process Stakeholder Survey Data Inventory and Assessment Data Compilation/ Conversion Database Design/ Development Analysis and Visualization Products Website & Web-based GIS

7 The Process Stakeholder Survey Over 300 Unique Datasets Identified Data Inventory and Assessment Data Compilation/ Conversion Database Design/ Development Analysis and Visualization Products Website & Web-based GIS

8 The Process Stakeholder Survey Data Inventory and Assessment Data Compilation/ Conversion Database Design/ Development Analysis and Visualization Products Website & Web-based GIS Reformatting data for GIS Fixing errors in spatial data Coding flow direction Creating basic metadata

10 The Process Stakeholder Survey Data Inventory and Assessment Data Compilation/ Conversion Database Design/ Development Analysis and Visualization Products Website & Web-based GIS

11 The Process Stakeholder Survey Data Inventory and Assessment Data Compilation/ Conversion Database Design/ Development Analysis and Visualization Products Website & Web-based GIS

12 The Data

13 GIS Features Canals (inflow) Gates (entry point) Hydrology Features Drains (outflow) Tailwater Box (exit point) Schema based on NHD Compilation of IID and NHD linework and attributes Flow direction assigned Waiting on updated features from IID

14 Collection of plots monitored by a single R7 water quality monitoring station Drainsheds

15 Agricultural Practice Information Reported by farmers to Imperial County Farm Bureau under the ICFB Voluntary TMDL Compliance Program Owner & operator information Best Management Practices (BMPs) Crop types NPS problems Site conditions Data is maintained by the Farm Bureau and delivered to the Regional Board as a.csv file Schema (such as column headings) are often changed year-to-year For more information on the TMDL Compliance Program please visit

16 Farm Bureau Reports: General Information Canal Name Gate Drainshed Field Name Net Farmable Acres Owner Information (Address, Phone, , etc)

17 Farm Bureau Reports: Best Management Practices (BMPs) IID regulation 39 adherance-tail water drain box with working raised, adjustable grade board Wider drain box (42 inches) Pan ditch (wide, flat tailditch) with or without grass Tailwater ditch checks or check dams Lined spillways or drop boxes to drain water into drain ditch Plastic sheeting used to control erosion Fiber mat used to control erosion Land leveling including field at proper grade near the drain box Filter Strips Irrigation Water Management No drain ditch Sprinkler irrigation including sprinkler germination Drip irrigation Grass Strips in tailditch Level basin irrigation Pump-back System Use of Polyacrylamides (PAMs) Reduced Tillage (including minimum till planting) Furrow Dikes (Dirt/paper, C-Taps, etc) Gopher Control and/or Gopher Ditc Settling Basin Planting in the Mulch Multiple Drainboxes Other

18 Farm Bureau Reports: Other Farming Information Site Conditions Under Cultivation Currently Idle Currently Fallowed Other Current or Projected Crops Annual field crop Perennial field crop Vegetable crops Orchard Other Potential or Current Non-Point Source Problems Steep slope Soil type Other None

19 Water Quality Region 7 Excel files Data for 20 analytes Other potential sources SWAMP STORET/WQX CEDEN *Compilation of thousands of stations for hundreds of constituents

20 The System Web-based GIS and reporting tools

21 IVSDI Website and System Designed to be a distributed service-oriented architecture leveraging existing services and standards where possible. Mapping application developed using JavaScript REST API for ArcGIS Server Local GIS and tabular data stored in ArcSDE 9.3 on SQL Server *This application is still currently under development

22 A little bit about web services A web service is an Application Programming Interface (API) that can be accessed over the internet. Web Service XML, JSON, etc Generally communicate over HTTP where a client (website or other) makes a request and the service returns a response in a format that may be easily parsed (xml, json, etc) by the application Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert, CA 92260&output=xml&key=ABQIAAAAc73SoWFy

25 Agricultural Practice Report Uploader The Report Uploader allows authenticated R7 users to upload the latest Farm Bureau Report files to the system

26 Agricultural Practice Report Uploader The Report Uploader allows authenticated R7 users to upload the latest Farm Bureau Report files to the system The tool enforces the current standard by: 1) Checking missing, misnamed, or extra columns in the file Allows you to select the appropriate action for the error (ignore or add)

27 Agricultural Practice Report Uploader The Report Uploader allows authenticated R7 users to upload the latest Farm Bureau Report files to the system The tool enforces the current standard by: 1) Checking missing, misnamed, or extra columns in the file 2) Checking for invalid entries such as duplicates, empty values, invalid values, etc Allows you to fix errors directly on the page or download a new Excel file to correct

28 Potential Next Steps

29 Since we are using data from a national data source, you can see and report on any water quality monitoring station in the state. Statewide Water Quality Sites
