The core EcoLayers platform has been adapted to support these specialized applications. Each offering can be further customized to meet the specific needs of a project or an organization.  

  • Regional Platform: For stewardship and regulatory compliance of water, land, and the intersecting ecosystems by IRWM/watershed coalitions, regulatory agencies, MS4 and TMDL permittees, and water masters among others.
  • Public Outreach and Involvement: For dissemination of maps, data, documents, and other types of information to the general public in sophisticated but user-friendly ways, and public participation to improve stewardship or regulatory compliance programs. Examples include citizen monitoring, water conservation, residential BMPs, and trash clean-up programs.
  • Regulatory Compliance and Reporting: For an individual permittee or a group of permittees to lower the costs and uncertainties of dealing with increasingly complex monitoring, assessments, compliance and reporting requirements. Current EcoLayers implementations include the California Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program  and the Urban Forest Offset Protocol under AB 32, California Global Warming Solutions Act . Solutions for compliance and reporting of various aspects of MS4 permits are under development with industry partners, see Integrated Stormwater Management. 
  • ecoSmart Landscapes:  ecoSmart Landscapes is a suite of web-based software tools for the quantitative evaluation of environmental impacts of existing and planned landscape configurations that may include buildings, trees, and different types of pervious and impervious areas. Organizations now have a unified, comprehensive solution for planning, management, and reporting of both their urban forestry and landscapes programs.  
  • Integrated Stormwater Management:  For use by cities, MS4 departments, wastewater agencies, regulatory agencies, and developers for all their stormwater monitoring, program management, and reporting needs
  • Local Water Resources Optimization:  For cities and water districts to optimize local water resources through a mix of supply, conservation, use, and re-use strategies at the parcel, local, and regional scales
