Downloadable Geodatabases
Users
of the Paso del Norte Watershed Council's Coordinated Database and GIS
Project have requested the ability to download project data files in the
Access file format, and development of this utility has been funded by
the United States Bureau of Reclamation's Water 2025 Challenge Grant that
was awarded to the City of El Paso Public Service Board. The link provided
below will allow users to download personal geodatabase files developed
with the ESRI ArcMap Software that is in the Access file format. Users
can then access this file with ESRI's ArcMap and ArcCatalog or Microsoft
Access.
The geodatabase files are provided in a zip format. Included are the old and updated versions. The old version contains most of the vector data layers of the GIS project and the updated version contains most of the vector and all of the raster datasets. If your firewall software is set to block downloads of zip files you must first temporarily turn off the firewall or add this site to your trusted sites. Right click on the file name below to initiate the download.
PDNWC_Access_GDB.zip (initial version - 11/17/2006)
PDNWC_Access_GDB.zip (updated version - 06/29/2007)
NOTE: Geodatabases do not contain the JMAS Wells or EPCWID1 data, which can be downloaded as seperate shapefiles.
