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.
