Water Right Banking: Robust GIS Data Management in the Central Platte Natural Resource District, Nebraska
Jim Ward, Applied Data Consultants, Inc.
Copresenter: Ron Bruder, Applied Data Consultants, Inc.

Keywords: Water Rights, SQL Server, ArcGIS, Geodatabase, Resource Management

Vertical Interest Tags: WW; PS; DD; CC; PH

Water rights management is a voluminous and complex task, particularly in those agriculture-rich areas of the United States that depend heavily on irrigation. Within the jurisdiction of the Central Platte Natural Resource District (CPNRD) in Nebraska, for example, over half of its 2 million acres are certified as irrigated agricultural land. This session will discuss the GIS-centric, transaction-based application employed by CPNRD for documenting and tracking active and historical water usage within the district.

GIS Management Solutions for ROW Properties Acquisition
Sidney Santos, PETROBRAS
Co Presenter: Wilson Jose de Oliveira , PETROBRAS

Keywords: Right-of-way, Environmental, Permits, Properties, GIS
Vertical Interest s:E; EN; G ; P; TR; T; WW; DD; GR; PH

The right-of-way implementation process starts with the best selected route considering biotic, human and geophysical aspects, geographical location of potential market opportunities and, the negotiation process to acquire the right to install the pipeline. A solution has being implemented to support the activities in a cooperative and friendly environment providing data integrity and reliability without requiring special training from the users. The solution was successfully implemented and used by the Engineering Department of Petrobras.

Navajo Land Department’s History of GIS and How We Are Utilizing it Today
Everytt Begay, Navajo Land Department

Vertical Interest Tags: T; DD; PH; W

This presentation will cover the history of GIS within the Navajo Land Department to manage Navajo Nation land. Attendees will learn about the development of spatial data in the beginning, and the issues the Navajo Nation is dealing with today. The presenter will give an overview on the several projects the Navajo Land Department – GIS Section was involved in and the outcome, and the development of an enterprise geodatabase for the Division of the Natural of the Navajo Nation.

Modeling the Real World
Ton Di Vries, Bentley Systems, Inc.

Vertical Interest Tags: WW; ER; T; PS; E; G; P; S; EN; DD; PH

Keywords: GIS, mapping, model, 3D, land development, cadastre, infrastructure, engineering, workflow

Infrastructure professionals rely heavily on cadastral data. Governments worldwide are planning thousands of new infrastructure projects to stimulate faltering economies and to repair, strengthen, and expand existing structures to avert catastrophes. Though projects will vary widely in scope and nature, planners and engineers will have one common need: information about the land. This session addresses the challenges infrastructure professionals face obtaining accurate land information, streamlining work flows, managing infrastructure information, and collaborating across distributed teams

Interpretation of Ground Subsidence from Interferometric Data Using Geospatial Techniques
Brian Sovik, AMEC
Copresenter: Bibhuti Panda, AMEC

Keywords: GIS, Remote Sensing, Earth Fissures, InSAR, Infrastructure, Subsidence, Geology, Flood Structures

Vertical Interest Tags: WW; T; PS; E; G; TRP; S; EN; AI; PH

Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are a powerful combination. They form a very unique perspective of the behavior of ground subsidence resulting from the decline of groundwater in alluvial aquifers. When it comes to large infrastructure in central Arizona—such as flood retarding structures—knowing what is happening on our landscape is critical. This presentation will share information about the culmination of various geospatial sciences and technologies.

Creating a GIS-based Spatial Profile for Exploring Health Services Supply and Demand
Abdulkader Murad, King Abdulaziz University

Keywords: GIS, Health services, Health supply, Health demand, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Vertical Interest Tags: PS; E; GR; PH

The first part of this presentation will review the relevant GIS functions that are used by health care planning researchers and identifies the advantages of using these functions. The second part will focus on presenting a GIS application created for the purpose of exploring the demand and supply of health services in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. The created application covers three major analytical issues identifying the level of health services supply, defining the location and characteristics of health demand, and determining the level of accessibility to health services in Jeddah city, which is achieved using accessibility indicators scores.

The Real-time GeoWeb: Enabling Massive Scale Streaming geospatial Data and Sensor Networks
Hans Jespersen, Solace Systems
Copresenter: Larry Neumann, Solace Systems

Keywords: geospatial networks middleware real-time sensors EDXL location-aware homeland defense GIS streaming
Vertical Interest Tags: E; ER; T; PS; PH; W

This technical session will present several use cases in which specialized hardware “middleware” has been successfully deployed to enable highly accelerated processing of real-time streaming sensor data. Reference architectures which include a wide variety of GIS systems and supporting applications will be discussed. Emerging location-aware XML standards such as EDXL and CAP will be reviewed with lessons learned from real-world implementations in the homeland defense, military, advertising and meteorological industries.
