| Left Hand Water District
Following a casual needs assessment, Destiny designed and developed a custom ArcGIS and geodatabase incorporating ESRI’s water infrastructure model. This included researching and acquiring USGS topographic contours, county open space layers and high-resolution aerial photos; adding metadata to track data sources and updates; and converting and integrating boundaries (district, city, subdivision, and parcels), street centerlines, hydrology, land use and zoning, and additional surface topography.
Destiny is currently facilitating the conversion of the District’s CAD data. This includes georeferencing CAD drawings to incorporate real world coordinates; mosaicing drawings to create a continuous coverage; editing the georeferenced water feature locations to match 1:400 scale aerial imagery; converting water polylines to GIS lines; converting valve and tap features to attributed GIS points; converting and uniquely identifying waterline junctions; and incorporating historic annotation from CAD drawings (pipe diameters, location descriptions, and other field notes). We will also provide custom ‘map book’ printing tools (custom programming) designed to emulate the District’s CAD drawings, and custom training and on-call services to ensure technology transfer to District staff. |

Hand Water District in northern Colorado wanted a robust GIS to support
and maintain the District’s water operation and infrastructure
data. Supporting that goal, Destiny developed a phased migration and
implementation plan moving the District from CAD to ArcGIS.
The
resulting GIS and database provided an important foundation for infrastructure
conversion.
