Valve Map Conversion Report

Welcome to the Tucson Water Valve Map Conversion Report. This web page is the jumping-off point for ideas, research and information pertaining to the conversion of 1,400 quarter-section valve maps into a GIS database format.

This web page will be the primary report produced under the Valve Map Conversion Report Project. A hardcopy report that summarizes this detailed information will also be produced.

INTRODUCTION TO THE VALVE MAP CONVERSION REPORT
