Groundwater Protection Council (GWPC) Environmental
Information Management Suite (EIMS) - Source Water Assessment Database
Development*
Description: In 1992, the GWPC began developing the Environmental
Information Manage-ment Suite (EIMS) to improve regulatory decision-making.
This system is designed to assist states and industry in managing natural
resources. The next major step in GWPC's EIMS program is the Source Water
Assessment Database, currently utilized by Oklahoma, Nebraska and Nevada.
States: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Nevada

Schuylkill and Delaware River Watershed Database
Description: Data was downloaded from the STORET, USGSs NASQAN and
USGS NAWQA websites as well as data compiled from local watershed organizations
and water suppliers. Mainly this data is most robust for basic physical
parameters, nutrients, and metals. Water supplier data provides a number
of daily or weekly measurements for the past decade. Data spans the period
of 1970 to 2002. Updates are made yearly to the database.
