Identifying street gutters used for secondary water delivery in urbanized areas of Cache Valley, UT

We created a shapefile of Utah's Cache Valley street water conveyance system using ArcGIS. This included gutters, canals, and discontinued canals that transport secondary water to customers. This data collection and research supports coupled human-natural systems research because it connects human and environmental water systems. The purpose of our data collection and mapping is to support future analysis of street gutters and canals as unique secondary water delivery systems. We georeferenced the network of street water conveyance in summer 2016 that delivers secondary water. We drove, cycled, and walked Logan streets and marked those with observed water conveyance through gutters and canals on a printed map that was then transferred into an ArcGIS shapefile. To accurately determine which street gutters are part of the irrigation water delivery system, we contacted Cache County irrigation companies to receive guidance and feedback.

本研究团队基于ArcGIS软件，构建了犹他州凯奇谷街道供水输送系统的矢量地图。该地图涵盖了排水沟、运河以及已停用的运河，它们负责将次级水源输送到客户处。此数据收集与研究项目旨在支持耦合人-自然系统研究，因为它将人类与水环境系统联系起来。我们的数据收集与制图旨在支持未来对街道排水沟与运河作为独特的次级水源输送系统的分析。2016年夏季，我们对输送次级水源的街道水输送网络进行了地理编码。我们通过驾车、骑行和步行洛根街道，并在打印地图上标记了通过排水沟和运河观察到的水输送情况，随后将这些信息转移到ArcGIS矢量地图中。为了准确判断哪些街道排水沟属于灌溉水输送系统的一部分，我们联系了凯奇县灌溉公司以获取指导和反馈。
