Last week I had the pleasure of participating in a Google Hang-Out with personnel from Leonard Rice Engineering. They introduced me to their interactive GIS mapping application for Colorado water providers. The map is quite a resource if you are involved in water issues in Colorado or if you just love maps.

The application is built on Open Source software including Open Layers, Ubuntu Linux and KML.

Here’s the description of the project from Shane Michael at Leonard Rice:

Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc. is developing a web based tools to share with you water providers and district boundaries in Colorado. This includes a database that can be searched, along with a web-mapping application consisting of base-layers and 6 mapping layers: Water Conservation Districts, Water Conservancy Districts, Irrigation Districts, Water and Sanitation Districts, Water Districts, and Municipal Water Providers. We are continually working to improve the completeness and accuracy of this map and list so that it can be an effective tool for everyone in the Colorado water community to use.
