Woolpert LLP is helping Central Arkansas Water (CAW) to combine the Arc 7.x GIS data sources from the former Little Rock Municipal Water Works with the paper data sources of the former North Little Rock Water Department. The data from the two entities will be combined into a single ArcGIS 8.x environment. This project will result in a substantial timesavings and improved maintenance efforts for CAW.
In July 2001, Little Rock and North Little Rock merged their water systems, forming CAW. The results of this GIS project will centralize data management and provide maintenance crews with a single set of data, access to the data through a website and enhanced software tools.
To accomplish this goal, Woolpert is completely converting CAW’s water data sets and providing the following services: developing a water geodatabase, digitizing paper documents, analyzing software environments, hosting a website for daily client review, transitioning the system from the current Arc7.x environment to an ArcGIS and ArcSDE environment and training CAW GIS personnel in the use of the system.
