Many colored maps and charts. “The purpose of this thesis is to define, develop, and test a Geographic Information System (GIS) that will meet the specific requirements of water managers. The Oregon State Watermaster responsible for the Umpqua Basin requested a geographic information system to allow access to the up to date and accurate location of the authorized place of use, points of diversion, ownership boundaries, and address points for all rights within the defined area of responsibility.” (p.4) |
