User Assitance Interface

Introduction
Modeling natural processes and systems can be a very difficult undertaking; ground water movement, fish habitat, and water recharge into these systems are complex and often require advanced models. These models typically focus on one topic, are not fully integrated with other models, and require some training to properly execute the model and understand its results. This is where the UAI comes into play. The UAI incorporates outcomes from models and provides a simplified interface to calculate the results.

The Interface is designed using web-based architecture and does more than just incorporate modeling results and simply interfaces; it provides a framework for assisting users with essential functions related to water balance. These functions include: linking results from surface, ground water, and ecological models, identifying ground water sensitive areas, permitting, estimations of water balance credits, and facilitation of a market place for trading.


Getting Started

The first step toward permitting a water withdrawal is to use the sceening map, located in the Mapping Interface, to determine if the water withdrawal will occur in a ground water sensitive area.

Once you have determined a water withdrawal location use the "Position Well" tool to place a well on the map and open the online permit application form. Once you complete this form, you can submit it electronically to the administrative agency for review.
