OverviewThe Washington Hydrography Framework Project is the cooperative effort to define, implement, and maintain a single high resolution hydrography network for Washington State.
The ultimate goal of the Framework Project is to establish a common "core" set of spatial and tabular hydrography information to which all organizations can attach their business specific requirements. The primary benefits of the Hydrography Framework Project include the ability to effectively store, access, analyze, model, and trade hydrographic data between interested parties. These benefits will be realized by the implementation of a single surface water information system for the region that will provide common ground for all organizations using hydrography data.
Creating a unified lakes, rivers, and streams digital GIS layer is essential for a coordinated approach to ecosystem management and accountability. Currently, three different sets of regulatory information mean that decisions on environmental permits often conflict, frustrating businesses, the public and local governments. This six-month (9/07 to 4/08) research and development project brings together regulatory data on water typing, fish habitat, and water quality from the Departments of Natural Resources, Fish and Wildlife, and Ecology into a single, comprehensive source of information on an eastern and western Washington watershed. The pilot will tests the governance, data submittal, and support for the consolidation and maintenance of the data at the Department of Ecology.
