The Arizona Department of Transportation, in coordination with Apache County District II and the Fort Defiance Chapter of the Navajo Nation, analyzed the traffic circulation conditions of Navajo Routes 7, 12, 54, 110, and 112 within the Fort Defiance Industrial Area which is designated as a major growth area on the Navajo Nation. The study was funded by the Federal Highway Administration’s State Planning and Research Program and administered through ADOT’s Multimodal Planning Division's Planning Assistance for Rural Areas (PARA) program. The study was initiated to develop a planning strategy to improve the mobility and safety within the Fort Defiance Industrial Area.
The Upper Hassayampa groundwater basin covers approximately 787 square miles within Maricopa and Yavapai counties and is located about 60 miles northwest of Phoenix. The basin is characterized by mid-elevation mountains and had an estimated population of 10,479 in 2000. The largest population center is the Town of Wickenburg. Other communities include Congress and Groom Creek. Low-intensity livestock grazing is the predominant land use and most ranches have limited acreages of irrigated pasture to raise additional animal feed. There are no surface water diversions or impoundments besides small stock ponds within the basin. Groundwater is the only source for public water supply, domestic, irrigation and industrial purposes. Public water supply uses the most groundwater in the basin.
The Aravaipa Canyon groundwater basin covers approximately 517 square miles in southeastern Arizona within Graham and Pinal counties. Largely undeveloped, the remote basin has an estimated 135 residents and includes the community of Klondyke. Low-intensity livestock grazing is the predominant land use although there are some irrigated fields and orchards along Aravaipa Creek. Historic mining activity resulted in the creation of the Klondyke Tailings Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund site in 1998. Groundwater is used for all domestic purposes within the basin as well as most irrigation and stock water supplies. Irrigation uses the most groundwater in the basin.
The Strategic and Business Planning Process was initiated by the Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC) to promote innovative thinking and discussion on solutions that meet the geospatial requirements of Arizona. The process set out to define the organizational structure and business model that meets those needs, and relied on the geospatial community in Arizona. It also set out to identify how an Arizona Geospatial Clearinghouse can share geospatial data and GIS services to the benefit of the state and its constituents.
The Strategic Plan for the Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC) is intended to serve as a guide to help AGIC develop and manage GIS and geographic information resources in Arizona.
This report is divided into five major sections. The Introduction provides a brief overview of this document, its contents and purpose. It offers insight into the various Arizona organizations that play key roles in the efforts to improve the use of GIS technology. GIS in Action offers a look at GIS technology, how it works and how it is being used daily around Arizona to solve complex problems and improve the lives of citizens. AGIC Overview explains the history of the Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC), reviews AGIC accomplishments to date, and offers a look at what's to come. It outlines the council composition, mission, and how AGIC serves Arizona. AGIC Initiatives describes AGIC's plans and what members are doing to accomplish six major initiatives: Core Data Resource; Arizona Preparedness; AGIC GeoData Portal; the Arizona Map; Arizona Height Modernization; Education and Outreach. The Appendix includes additional information about AGIC committees and contacts
This Business Plan for the Statewide Geospatial Clearinghouse is focused on Strategic Goal #1 of the state's recent GIS Strategic Plan, to 'Facilitate the productive application and sharing of geospatial data and GIS and location-based services to address the needs of Arizonans by establishing a Clearinghouse with statewide accessibility.'
