Description:
Stone Environmental developed a modern spatial data infrastructure for the City of Cambridge Water Department to replace its unmanageable paper-based system. We collaborated with the Watershed Protection Team, Cambridge GIS, and Cambridge IT to deliver a digital solution that supports both field inspections and office-based tracking for the city’s watershed monitoring program. Our system integrates Microsoft PowerApps data entry forms and ArcGIS Online’s spatial capabilities, all centered around a SQL Server database hosted on ArcGIS Server. This infrastructure enables the Watershed Protection Team to efficiently oversee the use, maintenance, and development of properties affecting runoff into the city’s watersheds. The solution supports editing, managing, and interacting with data in the office and during field site visits, using applications such as Survey123, Field Maps, and associated ArcGIS Online web maps. The system empowers city staff to make updates independently, integrates the city’s licensed tools, and avoids the need for custom software development. Our work ensures compliance and protection of the city’s water resources while streamlining planning, permitting, and communications related to development projects.
