History |
In the mid-1970s, the State of Idaho participated in the
Western Regional Applications Project, a NASA
technology transfer program administered by the Ames
Research Center. As a result of that participation, the
Governor of Idaho, in 1978, issued an Executive Order that
established the Idaho Image Analysis Facility within
the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) and
designated IDWR as the lead state agency for remote sensing
and geographic information systems (GIS). Subsequent
Executive Orders modernized the role and duties of the Idaho
Image Analysis Facility and renamed it the Idaho Geographic
information Center (IGIC). With the expiration of Executive
Order #96-12, the IGIC passed into history.
Although IDWR no longer houses the
IGIC, the Ground Water Protection Act of 1989 designated
IDWR as the state agency responsible for natural resource
GIS. The agency still functions in that capacity. |
