Project Background
The Hysham Irrigation District (HID) intends to become the model irrigation district for management, conservation, and development of its resources. However, ultimately, the goal of this project is to increase the value of the irrigated lands (production and land value) within the District. The means by which to achieve this goal is the project objective, namely, the implementation of technologically advanced systems for monitoring of water use within the district. Project consultants will assist HID in the development and implementation of a project-wide ",Internet GIS.", This Internet GIS will utilize the meshing of a conventional spatial GIS database with an Internet Map Server and dedicated web-page. The Internet GIS or Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) will allow the District and its water users a near real-time monitoring system for management, conservation, and development of its water resources.
