What else will the Rouge GIS do?

In addition to helping answer questions and supporting management decisions, the Rouge GIS will help us better understand the Rouge River watershed. By preparing numerous maps and conducting a variety of comparisons, the Rouge GIS will help us visualize where the pollution problems exist, what activities might have caused the problem, and what we can do to reduce them.

The Rouge project has promoted the use of GIS throughout the watershed communities. The Rouge communities will integrate watershed GIS information into their local GIS environments. The U.S Federal District Court requested an analyses of how the Rouge watershed GIS might be useful to the communities in performing their watershed management activities.

The Rouge GIS will also integrate with the roles and responsibilities of environmental management in Wayne County, creating the foundation for moving the Rouge GIS approach and procedures to other watersheds.
