adem.alabama.gov GIS for Water Management: Flow Data Flow Building a Framework for Alabama

adem.alabama.gov Common Data Needs Framework GIS applications have common data needs. Several of these datasets are identified as “Framework Themes.” The framework is a collaborative community based effort in which these themes are developed, maintained, and integrated by public and private organizations within a geographic area. Local, regional, state, and federal government organizations and private companies envision the framework as a way to share resources, improve communications, and increase efficiency.
