## Optional Supplement to Module 20: 

_**New Accountability Geodata Viewer**_

**Notes:**
A future tool that has been prototyped but not yet developed for use with PRMS data is the Geo Data Viewer.  Because we use a map based data entry all of the performance data in PRMS can be easily displayed and analyzed using map based products.  NRCS has a license for a web based Arc View product that can enable us to look at our data using something we are calling a GeoData Viewer.

## Overview of Data Viewer

- Provide map interface to PRMS data
- Will support geo-analysis of PRMS Data
- Helps managers understand what and where field services are provided
- Depending on FY2003 funding and priorities, Accountability Geodata Viewer will available sometime early in calendar year 2003.

## How does the Viewer work? 

**How does the Viewer work? **

**First select a region or area of the Country**

**Notes:**
We first select a portion of the country by zooming (drawing a box around) into the area we wish to view.

## How does the Viewer work? 

**How does the Viewer work? **

**Purple performance dots are locations of services**

**Notes:**
By selecting the performance points as an attribute of our map we can now see where the performance has occurred.  All of the blue represents each point of performance that has been recorded. To more clearly see where performance has occurred it is necessary to zoom in  a little closer and narrow the area we are looking at.

## How does the Viewer work? Zoom to area of interest

**How does the Viewer work? ****Zoom to area of interest**

**Notes:**
We zoom in again by selecting the area.

## How does the Viewer work? 

**How does the Viewer work? **

**Purple dots are PRMS map locations of services**

**Notes:**
Note the performance points are now more clearly delineated. We can also see some map features already shown, such as roads and lakes.

## How does the Viewer work? We can add overlay other map themes

**How does the Viewer work? ****We can add overlay other map themes**

**Notes:**
We can add map features such as streams or any other layer we may have available like hydrologic units, etc.

## How does the Viewer work? Zoom to area of interest

**How does the Viewer work? ****Zoom to area of interest**

**Notes:**
Again we can zoom to view more specific information about a performance point by selecting the point and asking for information.

## How does the Viewer work? Information about points is available

**How does the Viewer work? ****Information about points is available**

**Notes:**
The performance point is highlighted and the data available for the performance point is displayed.

## How does the Viewer work? Zoom in again for further analysis

**How does the Viewer work? ****Zoom in again for further analysis**

**Notes:**
We can also zoom based upon a collection of performance points and determine what other features may be impacting the amount of performance in an area.

## Are performance points related?

**Are performance points related?**

**Notes:**
Note the proximity to a particular stream corridor, may be one of the resource concerns we are addressing. The data could also be used in modeling natural resource outcomes using computer models such as EPIC, RUSLE, WEQ, etc. such as the impact on a particular stream segment or hydrologic unit. The future use of our accountability data using technology such as the Geo Data Viewer provides a lot of opportunity to display and analyze our data and answer the questions we are being asked about the impacts of our programs on the natural resources and environment.
