The Center for Spatial Analysis and Research (CSAR) at PSU is currently engaged in a multi-year agreement with the USDA-NRCS, National Water and Climate Center (NWCC) to develop a spatial decision support system (SDSS) for improving water forecast accuracy. One of the goals of the SDSS is to make the GIS data used in the analysis available to government and public users. We designed and developed a data repository framework (eBAGIS) that integrates the geoprocessing capabilities of an existing desktop basin analysis GIS (BAGIS) and an internet-based GIS server to share the basin analysis GIS data. This presentation introduces the PostgreSQL-based GIS repository developed in Django, a high-level Python web framework, and the REST APIs developed for interfacing with ArcGIS Desktop addins implemented with VB .NET framework. The internet GIS repository allows NWCC water supply forecasters and hydrologists to upload their basin analysis GIS data created on their desktop ArcMap and share these data with water managers and the public over the internet.
