The purpose of this particular project is to incorporate a
routing functionality into a webpage for the Water Resource
Institute located at CSUSB. The introduction of network analysis
within the project will allow the Water Resource Institute of
California State University and all stake holders to engage the
community through improved recreational access information. A
user of the website will be able to enter a “from” and a “to”
location by utilizing a tool which will in return route them to
a particular recreational site. In addition, the user will be
able to select from a list of recreational sites available on
the webpage. By allowing the public to responsibly find and
utilize these areas of recreation, the Water Resource is
improving recreational opportunities for the region. This
routing tool will engage the community in the process of
appreciating the fundamental nature of the rich ecological
resources within the Upper Santa Ana Watershed.
The Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority's (SAWPA) Integrated Watershed Plan incorporates many
recommendations for improving the long term sustainability of
the watershed. This project has been designed with the
recommendations in SAWPA's plan focusing on the increased
connectivity of the regional trail system and recreational
opportunities. This particular project will integrate the Water
Resource Department’s efforts with SAWPA’s.
The Santa Ana River Watershed is a 2,847 square mile area within Southern California that drains water, sediment and dissolved materials into an outlet at the stream channel known as the total length of the river and its major tributaries are about 700 miles, all of which catch storm-water, channeling it into the Pacific Ocean at the City of the largest coastal stream system in including the human species. This project is an effort to offer additional insights into the Santa Ana River Watershed allowing for the increase in stakeholders’ proper use and identification of restoration opportunities within it. Although this particular project, “The Green Atlas Places,” is an education resource for all to utilize, it is specifically designed with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) Integrated Watershed Plan in mind. The efforts of the Water Resource Institute, through the Green Atlas Places Project, is to assist SAWPA in its efforts of investing in green infrastructure to protect the water supply and water quality of the Santa Ana River Watershed. The Water Resources Institute’s Green Atlas Places project will engage the community via an interactive mechanism highlighting education and recreation to promote the protection and restoration of habitat resources and to plan its future sustainability.
