An increasingly important aspect of providing water quality information to
consumers is the ability to provide this information in real time. Real time monitoring and reporting of water quality data for a distribution system can be
accomplished by utilizing continuous on-line monitoring instrumentation that integrates and displays remotely sensed data and interfaces with a variety of
applications. As part of the US Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Monitoring for Public Access
and Community Tracking (EMPACT) project, Tucson Water has successfully
integrated multiple water quality data sets from several data management and acquisition systems with a geographical information system (GIS) mapping
application. The goal of the integration of the data sets and the interactive maps
was to display the data in real time from twenty-two remote locations that are
strategically located throughout Tucson Water's major distribution system and
the most recent data from over four hundred sampling locations situated in
neighborhoods. To accomplish this goal a two-map service structure was
designed using ArcXML, Java, JavaScript, HTML, Oracle SQL and the Python
scripting language. In addition, a third map service was created to better navigate
the map web pages. The paper includes a graphical depiction and a brief overview of the
web site structure.
