Google Earth Mapping & CIP - California
For a water utility, the management of assets plays a significant role in overall
financial performance. With the use of effective asset management, it is possible
to reduce overall infrastructure costs instead of waiting until the assets fail,
incurring higher than necessary costs. Workshop participants are invited to bring
their laptop computers for a fully interactive experience.
Participants will receive a step-bystep tutorial on how to get started
mapping your water system’s assets
using Google Earth for project
planning, public presentations
and developing capital improvement plans.
Participants should download and install the free Google Earth software prior
to the class as internet access may be limited at the venue (google.com/earth/).
Participants will learn:
• The basics of asset management
• The basic tools of Google Earth needed to map water system assets
• How to import scanned maps, hand held GPS coordinates and public
domain GIS data
• How to derive water main pipe lengths and surface elevations for
evaluating pipe alignments and tank sites for hydraulic analysis, project
planning and cost estimating
• How to edit, save and share your Google Earth maps with project team
members and the public
• How to create an asset inventory for planning capital improvement
projects and estimating capital reserve savings goals
• Where to find different tools and resources to help the system implement
asset management practice
