Summary:
The purpose of this study was to define the best Geographic Information System (G.I.S.) Software to manage the Storm Water Drainage Facilities for the Utilities Department of the Village of Tequesta, Florida. GeoMedia Professional was chosen, for its convenient user interface and its compatibility with other G.I.S. software such as ArcView or ARC/INFO. The GIS system displays the information in a map with different layers showing features such as drains or sewers. Subsystems were used to define the Levels of Standards (LOS) for the drainage system of the village. The data was collected from different sources such as Palm Beach County, or the property appraisers. The features are linked to databases, where the user can interface with the system and analyze the storm water network of the village. In the end, an interactive map was created with all the data, which provided a sufficient management tool for the Utilities Department.
