MPS
provided 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 in Rhode Island.
Conducted
GIS residential and commercial buildout analyses
in RI for 32 water suppliers, plus 27 of the
39 cities and towns. Other tasks included
the GIS mapping of water supplier interconnections,
existing water supply sources, potential new
water supplies, and updating the statewide GIS
water datasets and water service areas.
Also developed ESRI MapBooks Water Supply GIS
for RIWRB application.
The Phase II Study looked
at the entire state to ensure Rhode Island’s
continued water independence. This will assist
the RIWRB in locating alternative water supplies
and determining projected water needs versus
the available supply for the entire state.
