EnviroMapper for water Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Water added to website October 18 2004 The EPA's Office of Water has just released a new version (3.0) of EnviroMapper for Water (http://www.epa.gov/waters/enviromapper/). EnviroMapper for Water provides a Web-based mapping connection to a wealth of water data. You can use it to view and map data, such as the uses assigned to local waters by your state (fishing, swimming, etc), waters that are impaired and do not support their assigned uses, the reasons why waters are impaired, water quality monitoring information, closures of swimming beaches, and the location of dischargers. Maps can be viewed at the national, regional, state or local levels. This latest release features several new layers of water data including EPA's national water quality database STORET, National Estuary Program study areas, and the location of nonpoint source projects. Other enhancements make it easier to locate and view these data, and instructions are included describing how to incorporate the resulting map into your own Web page. For more information, contact Tommy Dewald at dewald.tommy@epa.gov or (202) 566-1178. (See also link to sample map of Alewife area in: Government websites) |
