In 2007, following several major natural disasters in Kansas, the GIS Department in Jefferson County designed a project to collect GPS utility data for all eight cities in the county. The cities agreed that GPS data would be beneficial not only in emergency situations, but for regular utility operations.
The GIS Department contacted the Kansas Rural Water Association, a non-profit organization offering post-processed GPS collection using ArcPad to local governments at cost. Each of the cities in Jefferson County have less than 2,000 people, so the County devised a cost-sharing plan where each city paid for KRWAs hourly data collection and the GIS Department paid for travel and lodging.
Through a Kansas Water Office grant opportunity, the cities received 50% reimbursement for water collection. The GIS Department provided data storage and backup through ArcSDE and data viewing through a secure map website showing GPS and county data using ArcGIS Server.http://www.magicgis.org/magic/symposiums/2010/view_abstract.cfm?pres_id=271
This poster session features collaborative GIS programs empowering Haskell Indian Nations University American Indian Studies. AIS interns are funded by NSF EPSCOR grants to empower effective Indigenous Nation higher education knowledge, skills and abilities.
Haskell University's Cultural Center engaged with U.S. National Park Service to interpret traditional ecological knowledge for our new Freedoms Frontier National Heritage Area. N. Scott Momaday's shared sense of place observation is the focus of Carol Burns' indigenous film connecting water quality & quality of life.
