Tool Description
This interactive mapping platform includes multiple indices that can help applicants assess a site's suitability for land repurposing in the Kaweah Subbasin. The toolkit brings together different spatial data layers into six suitability indices that reflect key repurposing goals:
Agricultural Economic Viability
Groundwater Recharge
Wildlife Habitat
Environmental Health Risk in Disadvantaged Communities.
Renewable Energy
Flood Risk
Users can explore individual indices or combine them into custom multibenefit scenarios using a simple weighting system. Results can be viewed on an interactive map and exported for further analysis. Additionally, it features supplementary reference layers to help users orient themselves, including:
Communities’ location
Streams
Corcoran clay boundaries
Groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs)
Public Land Survey System (PLSS) plots
Purpose
The Interactive Mapping Tool is designed to support MLRP applicants by facilitating access to relevant spatial data and reducing barriers to participation in the application process. By providing a centralized platform to access and explore essential data, the tool empowers users to make informed decisions and engage effectively in the MLRP landscape.
