Sacramento River Watershed Information Model (SWIM)

Important Note:

SWIM is still under development, and is changing constantly as GIS data layers are added and the software is reconfigured and enhanced.

If you're looking for the documents contained in Western Shasta's RCD WIM website, they're all online here.

The final SWIM will contain not only the GIS data and documents contained under the old -- and unfortunately deactivated WIM -- but will also include GIS data and documents from all over the Sacramento River watershed.

Thanks for your patience.

For years SRWP has been working towards providing a watershed resource library to address the information needs of its stakeholders. Early on it was determined that this would best be accomplished by providing a virtual resource center through the SRWP web site. In 2007 SRWP took a significant step towards that goal through the launch of the Sacramento River Watershed Information Module (SWIM).

The SWIM Project started in 2006 with seed funding from SRWP’s U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant. In 2007 and 2008 SWIM will be massively expanded through a CALFED Watershed Program grant. SWIM uses the sophisticated Geocortex IMF software to produce interactive web-based maps that allow web users to explore the Sacramento River watershed. SWIM will become a key feature of SRWP’s web site by providing an online database of maps, GIS coverages, documents, photos and other resources that will be searchable through an online map interface.
