Welcome to our GIS Page!
The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District has been developing its Geographical Information System for almost twenty years. We have many layers completed including our facilities, flood zone, encroachment permits and many others. We currently utilize Oracle Spatial, Intergraph's GeoMedia and ESRI products.
  
What is GIS?
GIS is a computer-based technology that combines geographic features with attribute data to visualize, explore, query, edit, and analyze geographical information. The most valuable aspect is being able to analyze information spatially while serving as a decision-support tool for analysis of real life decisions. GIS also provides the ability to create full-color custom maps and graphics based on a collection of data along with aerial photography. Databases and maps are part of the GIS technology and provide the base from which vast amounts of information can be stored, maintained, and analyzed with endless capabilities.
