RiverGages.com: One Door to the Corps for USACE Water Management
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2008: Ahupua'A
Abstract
Beginning in the early 1990's, individual U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Water Management offices began implementing internet tools for display of stream, reservoir, and navigation structure data. In 2002, it was decided by the Corps' Mississippi Valley Division (MVD) to develop a common access point for all water management information within the Division. A Configuration and Control Board was established with one member from each office in MVD to develop a single web-site that would serve water management information to both internal and public customers in a consistent and easy to use form. The product of this collaborative effort is RiverGages.com. Because of its data acquisition system and data storage flexibility, RiverGages has expanded beyond the Mississippi Valley and is poised to become the national web-site for Corps Water Management. The past, present, and future of RiverGages will be discussed, along with its unique features which have brought it to the forefront of Corps Water Management.
