[Igc] March Map of the Month

[Gail Ewart]

Greetings, Everyone

First, the news:

Flash #1:  Idaho has won a grant award from the USGS CAP to advance the Regional Resource Center concept to a practical implementation plans based on a template which all the RRCs can use. Eric Smith, Fremont County, did a great job of pulling the application together. Keith Weber and I assisted. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Flash #2:  The Idaho Technology Resource Management Council approved the advancement of our new Executive Order to the Governor for signature. This is a major milestone in our community. As soon as the new EO is signed, we will move into transitioning from our current governance system to our broader-based system. Everyone will be invited to join the Idaho Geospatial Council. Stay tuned for further announcements.

Our map for March is contributed from the Dept of Water Resources. The cartographer is a hydrologist, Jennifer Cuhaciyan. The problem is that terrain obstructs real-time data signals about flows from various spring gauges in the area which blocks transmissions to the primary station (Bell Rapids Relay). This map depicts the areas in range and out of range of Bell Rapids Relay. The purpose of the analysis is to identify the best locations for secondary stations to pick up the data transmissions from the springs and relay them to the primary station, which then sends them on to an office in Twin Falls. You can swing by the LBJ Building to see it or visit the map gallery at http://gis.idaho.gov/IGO/MapGallery/TowerAnalysis.pdf. Thanks, IDWR and Jennifer.
