U.S. Geological Survey National Computer Technology Meeting: Program and Abstracts, May 7-11, 1990
Abstract
The Water Resources Division of the U. S. Geological Survey has made major advancements in the use of computer technology to meet the Survey's mission of providing the hydrologic information and understanding needed for the optimum use and management of the Nation's water resources. The Division requires substantial computer technology to process, store, and analyze data from about 60,000 sites. To meet this workload, the Division organized its computer resources in 1982 through the Distributed Information System (DIS) Program Office, which manages the Division's national network of computers. The DIS is designed to provide computer resources in support of the Division's current and future activities - acquisition and storage of hydrologic information, hydrologic data analysis, geographic information systems, reports and electronic report processing, and administration. The Water Resources Division sponsored the first DIS Site Administrators Meeting in March 1984 in Denver, Colorado, and a second meeting in October 1985 in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
