The Environmental Data Access (EDA) Initiative provides access to Minnesota's surface water quality data. Surface water is a highly valued resource in Minnesota. There are over 91,000 miles of rivers, 3,000,000 acres of lakes and reservoirs, and 7,500,000 acres of wetlands in the state. That equates to an enormous amount of both tabular and spatial data. Users are able to access this data through geographic search tools or through textual queries. Learn more about our application
Business Problem Solved
In order for Minnesotans to play an active role in protecting and improving their environment, monitoring data must be easily and readily accessible. Although the MPCA and other organizations collect large quantities of environmental data, much of it has been difficult to access in the past. Technology Implemented
The data is accessed through a Web application built using ArcIMS and Cold Fusion, which access data stored in Oracle databases using ArcSDE. Development Team Biography
