$1.8 Million Mapping Contract Awarded to Intermap Technologies for Water Management
- Details
- Created on October 22, 2009
The purchase will allow the customer to evaluate how well the data supports a comprehensive 3D basin model that shows water accumulation, flow, catchment, and use potential. This 3D model is a key to the success for a large river restoration program. The area is experiencing its lowest in-flows on record, which, combined with a 7-year drought, has contributed to a severe water shortage throughout the region.
“The data for this important project is based on our NEXTMap product specifications that set new geospatial standards for hydrologic applications,” stated Garth Lawrence, senior vice president of strategic business at Intermap Technologies. “We’re proud to be playing a pivotal role in assisting our customer’s attempt to address a water resource critical issue that could have far-reaching implications for the quality of life in the region.”
