In 2009, the Federal Government outlined the need for trails database schema in their Data Standards Review Committee, stressing the efficiency in management decisions that a streamlined database can provide. “The collection, storage and management of trail related data are important components of everyday business activities in many federal and state land-managing agencies, trail organizations and businesses. From a management perspective, trails data must often mesh closely with other types of infrastructure, resource and facility enterprise data.” In 2014, the Washington State Office of the Chief Information Officer's (OCIO) Geospatial Program Office acquired a Nonhighway and Off-Road Vehicle Activities (NOVA) Program grant through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) giving the OCIO initial funding to develop a statewide trails database based on Federal Geographic Data Committee standards. Using the same standard for all trails data will allow land managers and recreational users throughout the state to access and use the data regardless of administrative boundary. "Data standards will make it easier for trail information to be accessed and exchanged and used by more than one individual agency or group…Ease in sharing data increases the capability for enhanced and consistent mapping, inventory, monitoring, conditions assessment, maintenance, costing, budgeting, information retrieval, and summary reporting for internal and external needs.” Along with streamlining data and facilitating efficiency in management practices across agencies, the database will provide a source of trails information that is open and free to the public. The 2016 State Legislature provided additional funding from the Nonhighway and Off-road Vehicle Activities Account to the Office of the Chief Information Officer to continue work on the database.

Water levels in the karstic San Andres limestone aquifer of the Roswell Artesian Basin, New Mexico, display significant variations on a variety of time scales. Large seasonal fluctuations in hydraulic head are directly related to the irrigation cycle in the Artesian Basin, lower in summer months and higher in winter when less irrigation occurs. Longer-term variations are the result of both human and climatic factors. Since the inception of irrigated farming more than a century ago, over appropriation of water resources has caused water levels in the artesian aquifer to fall by as much as 230 ft (70 m). The general decline in hydraulic head began to reverse in the mid-1980s due to a variety of conservation measures, combined with a period of elevated rainfall toward the end of the twentieth century.

City and utility leaders who embrace both natural and engineered water infrastructure will not only meet future water demand; they will reshape our planet's landscape for the better.

The trailhead database was created in conjunction with the Washington State Trails Database project. The attributes included in this database were chosen to supplement information found in the trails database, so using the two together is recommended. This project did not create new georeferenced locations; the aim was to design a geodatabase, include as many existing trailheads as possible, and answer common questions regarding use and availability. It is not comprehensive. Additional details about the project can be found here: http://www.rco.wa.gov/recreation/WashingtonStateTrailsMap.shtml Please note that this service has been designed to supplement other services in the map and web application.

Policysupport.org is home to a range of web-based policy support systems developed, since 2003, collaboratively by AmbioTEK CIC, and applied by King's College London and a range of other partners as specified for each system. The systems are based on the common ecoengine framework for developing web based policy support systems (AmbioTEK) and SimTerra databases (AmbioTEK) but are very varied in their applications (King's College London). Applications in the Policy Support Suite include: WaterWorld: a testbed for the development and implementation of land and water related policies for sites and regions globally, enabling their intended and unintended consequences to be tested in silico before they are tested in vivo. WaterWorld can also be used to understand the hydrological and water resources baseline and water risk factors associated with specific activities under current conditions and under scenarios for land use, land management and climate change. It incorporates detailed spatial datasets at 1-square km and 1 hectare resolution for the entire world, spatial models for biophysical and socio-economic processes along with scenarios for climate, land use and economic change. A series of interventions (policy options) are available which can be implemented and their consequences traced through the socio-economic and biophysical systems. The model integrates with a range of geobrowsers for immersive visualisation of outcomes. AguAAndes: a testbed for the development and implementation of land and water related policies in the Andes, enabling intended and unintended consequences to be tested in silico before they are tested in vivo . It incorporates detailed spatial datasets at 1-square km and 1 hectare resolution for the entire Andes, spatial models for biophysical and socioeconomic processes along with scenarios for climate, land use and economic change. A series of interventions (policy options) are available which can be implemented and their consequences traced through the socio-economic and biophysical systems. CompAndes: a web based tool based on AguAAndes and is developed as a Negotiation Support System (NSS) for negotiations around benefit sharing mechanisms for water. This NSS is a testbed for negotiations around benefit sharing mechanisms for water focusing on sustaining equitable flows of water for all through appropriate land, ecosystem and water management. It is focused on enabling the intended and unintended consequences of benefit sharing mechanisms to be tested in silico before they are tested in vivo. Co$ting Nature: a web based tool for natural capital accounting and analysing the ecosystem services provided by natural environments (i.e. nature's benefits), identifying the beneficiaries of these services and assessing the impacts of human interventions. This PSS is a testbed for the development and implementation of conservation strategies focused on sustaining and improving ecosystem services. MENARA: a web based policy support system for understanding strength, weakness, opportunity and threat (SWOT) at scales from pixel through regional to national considering environment, water, energy, food, economy and population. It is an horizon scanning tool to identify material threats, opportunities and choke points that may precipitate conflict and is designed to help to think through locally appropriate policy responses. FIESTA-FOGINT: a research model to quantify fog inputs in absolute terms and as a proportion of rainfall. Commonly applied to tropical montane cloud affected forests. Also maps the distribution of these forests. EcoActuary: a testbed for the development and implementation of green and grey infrastructure investments focused on reducing the risk to insured assets of multi-hazard risks, including flooding and drought. It incorporates detailed spatial datasets at 1-square km and 1 hectare resolution for the entire world, spatial models for biophysical and socioeconomic processes along with scenarios for climate, land use and economic change. A series of investments can be implemented and their consequences traced through the socio-economic and biophysical systems. An actuary determines the probability (and financial consequences) of risks. They work with accountants, underwriters (and catastrophe modellers) to set insurance rates (premiums). The Eco:Actuary determines mitigation of risk by specific configurations of green infrastructure (GI) and by asset adaptation. It helps understand the asset value protected by GI, alongside other GI co-benefits (ecosystem services). The Eco:Actuary helps advise risk reduction, resilience to avoid losses.
