DEP provides water quality data and conditions in a variety of approaches. One of the most important tools used by DEP includes geographic information system (GIS) data, maps, and applications.

The principle GIS tool used by DEP is NJ-GeoWeb. This application provides users access to DEP GIS data on the internet. Users can view, query and analyze DEP’s GIS data with related environmental information. One major enhancement is the ability to upload Shapefiles from a local drive, and data from other sources for viewing within the application.

The Integrated Report includes interactive GIS maps that provide the water quality assessment results for all of the designated uses and their applicable parameters can be viewed at all monitoring stations and assessment unit level. Additionally, other tools provided by DEP include maps and applications (ie storymaps) that provide water quality related information and GIS water quality data files.
