The Kentucky Water Resources Development Commission (WRDC) was created to developa strategic plan for ensuring that every Kentucky household has access to potablewater by the year 2020. Implicit in a project of such scope and complexity is theneed to develop and maintain: extensive and detailed data and information;sophisticated tools for the identification, evaluation, analysis and comparisonof factors vital to potable water demand and supply; and, methodologies foreffectively communicating conclusions, plans and solutions. To support theserequirements, the WRDC is applying geographic information system (GIS)technology. The GIS will support a wide range of applications involving themanagement, retrieval and analysis of land- and water-related data. It will serveas a tool for integrating many types of systems and data sets that containspatial information and will provide WRDC with sophisticated analyticalcapabilities. Implementation of the WRDC's GIS requires widespread cooperationand support at the state, regional and local levels, committed management and asignificant investment in technology. This paper discusses the comprehensive GISplanning effort undertaken by the WRDC in which functional requirements wereidentified, the system was designed for optimum productivity and an efficientimplementation was planned. In addition, the paper summarizes the water resourcesplanning and management issues that will be addressed by this ambitious GIS. Includes table, figures.
