GIS-Related Projects

The State of the Bow River Basin Report

Description: Working directly with the report author and project team Tesera Systems Inc. worked to create required figures and analysis data to support the Bow River Basin Council – 2005 State of the Basin Report.  This involved creating an inventory of GIS requirements, creating a database of existing and available GIS layers, and working with partners to find additional layers so all requirements could be met.  GIS layers were used to generate maps, tables, figures and supporting analysis throughout the report.  Along with the above noted deliverables Tesera was able to provide the BRBC a data inventory database which contained extensive metadata on the layers used in the report along with the layers themselves in a clean usable state for future use.

Agricultural Use GIS Database (Okanagan Basin Water Strategy)

Description: Working directly with the GIS coordinator at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC) in Summerland, this project involved creating an agricultural use GIS database as part of the agricultural component of the Okanagan Basin Water Strategy.  As part of Phase 2 of this strategy initiated by Land and Water British Columbia (LWBC), the database was to be used for developing agriculture strategies on current and future water requirements.

Land Use Mapping GIS Services

Description: Working directly with the GIS coordinator at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC) in Summerland, this project involved creating and updating agricultural coverages to be incorporated into an agricultural use GIS database.  This database was used as an agricultural component of the Okanagan Basin Water Strategy.  As part of Phase 2 of this strategy initiated by Land and Water British Columbia (LWBC), the database was to be used for developing agriculture strategies on current and future water requirements.
