Summary

Abstract: The River Run website is a dynamic visualization of water quality in the Lower Cape Fear River. Dynamic graphing using a java applet and interactive mapping through ArcView IMS enables users to visualize numerous water quality parameters. The Data Visualization Tool (DVT) powerful utility for manipulating and displaying water quality data in a dynamic interactive method. The tool facilitates the exploration and examination of data on up to 13 water quality parameters that have been collected along two river systems in Southeast North Carolina: The Cape Fear River and the Northeast Cape Fear River. Data from both rivers has been gathered from multiple sampling sites--11 on the Cape Fear River and 4 on the Northeast Cape Fear River--over the course of several years. This tool allows researchers to visualize the data by graphing data on up to four water quality parameters simultaneously using three different display techniques: (1) color graphing (2) line graphs (3) animated sequencing of graphs The Interactive Geographic Information System Mapping Tool is organized into several thematic sets of water quality data for the Lower Cape Fear River Basin. Once you select a mapping view you will be in the mapping mode where you will be able to turn on and off data layers, pan, zoom, and select features. The themes in each view are organized so that the theme at the top of the list is drawn on top of the others. Unchecking and checking the boxes next to the names of the themes will draw them on the map on the right. Most data is monthly from 1996 through May of 2000.
