MPS provides GIS services to support RI WRB’s Phase II Supplemental Water Study to locate and determine the quantity of alternative water supply available for future use. The Phase II Study looks at the entire state to ensure Rhode Island’s continued water independence.

GIS services will include mapping interconnections between suppliers, existing water supply sources, potential new water supplies, and conducting build-out analyses for all 32 suppliers except Providence and six adjacent suppliers. This will assist the RIWRB in locating alternative water supplies and determining projected water needs versus the available supply for the entire state.
