| Washington Framework Hydrography Project 2007 Shared Hydrography Project
Dan Saul The Washington Hydrography Framework Project is the cooperative effort of many federal, state, local, and tribal governmental organizations, as well as private organizations to define, implement, and maintain a single high resolution hydrography network for Washington State. Through a formal arrangement with the Interorganizational Resources Information Coordinating Council (IRICC) the Washington Hydrography Framework Project has coordinated it's efforts with those of the Oregon Hydrography Framework Project to facilitate a regional Framework effort encompassing Washington, Oregon, and northern California. The ultimate goal of the Framework Project is to establish a common "core" set of spatial and tabular hydrography information to which all organizations can attach their business specific requirements. Those requirements that are common to each Framework partner have been identified and will reside in the Framework database. The primary benefits of the Hydrography Framework Project include the ability to effectively store, access, analyze, model, and trade hydrographic data between interested parties. These benefits will be realized by the implementation of a single surface water information system for the region that will provide common ground for all organizations using hydrography data. Anyone interested in learning more about the project or becoming a partner should contact Dan Saul
