One of the most exciting projects Franklin Soil and Water is currently working on is the Urban SubH2Oshed Initiative, which brings together resources from all of our program areas to help local governments implement the most efficient practices to improve water quality.
It combines storm sewer system mapping, including directionality, with physical mapping of stream conditions to determine locations and sources of stormwater impacts. Additional layers, including public rights-of-way, turf cover, canopy cover, imperviousness, and demographic data, give a more complete picture to decision makers.
Here is a presentation by two Franklin Soil and Water staff members, Ryan Pilewski and Aaron Hebert, given at the 2014 esri © International Users Conference.
