HBMWD Watershed LIDAR Project - TA for GIS/Mapping
NCRP Technical Assistance Round 3
Completed
The purpose of the project is to hire a competent consultant with substantial experience in the interpretation, post-processing and implementation of LIDAR data to watersheds to maintain and enhance our high water quality in the Mad River basin. This is needed because the District staff has no knowledge of how to apply the LIDAR mapping that we will obtain from the USGS Northern CA LIDAR Acquisition Project. By customizing the LIDAR data and user interface to meet the District watershed, forestry, water quality, and water system needs, the District will be able to take advantage of this tool to improve future water, resource management, and wildfire planning in the Ruth Lake area.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
Ruth Lake is the primary drinking water source for two-thirds of the residents of Humboldt County, a source of recreation in Trinity County, and the primary environmental water enhancement source in the Mad River basin during the river's natural low-flow season. Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District needs technical assistance to perform analysis and implementation of LIDAR data that will be provided from the USGS Northern California LIDAR acquisition project. We have a small staff that has no experience or knowledge of how to apply LIDAR mapping to our watershed in the areas of wildfire reforestation, fuel reduction, erosion control to protect water quality, or other applications. By customizing the LIDAR data and user interface to meet the District watershed, forestry, water quality, and water system needs, the District will be able to use this tool to improve future water and resource management planning and wildfire planning in the Ruth Lake area.
