Atlas of GDEs

Explore the Atlas of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) in this informative webinar. Learn how to incorporate GDEs into groundwater management decision-making processes. Discover the importance of understanding groundwater's role in sustaining aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems for effective natural resource management, environmental impact assessments, and water planning. Gain insights into the GDE Atlas, a web-based mapping application that houses standardized GDE data from across the country, allowing users to visualize, analyze, and download data without specialized software. Follow Ben DiGregorio as he demonstrates the Atlas's data and tools, showcasing how it can enhance groundwater management and planning. Delve into topics such as GDE types, national studies, regional updates, and the GDA interface. Explore the methodology behind the Atlas, data sources, and future developments. Benefit from expert insights from Darren Evans, Marilyn Quintero, Ross Best, and Katie Cole as they contribute to this comprehensive overview of the GDE Atlas and its applications in groundwater management.
