Methodology
After all data has been acquired, a database of land-use in the Texas Hill Country will be developed. Processing of some data will be required. All of the data must be in the same projection and coordinate system for compatibility. The same projection and coordinate system will also be used by AquaKESKA to aid in the conjunction of the two data sets. Data from each county will also have to be stitched together to ensure accurate, continuous layers.
To produce an interactive website that allows the user to navigate through data for each county, some programming will be necessary. The database will allow updates to be applied to the website as new data is obtained and land-use changes. To make the website interactive, several codes and scripts will be implemented.
Although no analysis will be completed during the course of this project, the database created will assist in the generation of regional growth models. These models will be used to predict the best and worst case growth scenarios for the hill country.
