2017 Route Fifty Navigator Award Finalist in the category of Data and IT Innovators.

Innovative state governments aim to make the most out of the data they have and Utah is no exception. A major update to the state’s Water-Related Land Use program, which seeks to produce yearly statewide agricultural boundary and crop type data, was selected as a grand prize winner for the state Department of Natural Resources GIS Return on Investment Contest.

The Division of Water Resources produces a water-related land use layer to quantify the agricultural extent and water use for water planning purposes. Previously, these lands were inventoried on a rotating basis that covered the entire state in six years and didn’t incorporate available data to classify field types. The new method incorporates freely available U.S. Department of Agriculture remote-sensed crop data and will allow Utah to produce a statewide layer annually.

As a Navigator Award nomination submission notes, the “new method has dramatically increased the amount of data that is produced and also dramatically reduced the amount of worker hours and travel needed to produce the data. Yearly statewide data will greatly assist those who use the data in analysing trends and accurately estimating water use.”

The project is being overseen by Aaron Austin, a senior GIS analyst with the Utah Division of Water Resources, and we’re pleased to include him as one of our 10 finalists in the Data and IT Innovators category.
