The Water Optimization program is designed to maintain viable agriculture while reducing water
depletion to enhance water availability and minimize impacts on water supply, water quality, and
the environment. This is done by providing resources to farmers to develop efficient irrigation
infrastructure. Telling the story of what this program is accomplishing has proven challenging.
We propose building a public dashboard to help communicate with the general public. This
dashboard will share the success stories that are happening in Utah. We want to show the
benefits of this program and how it can have a positive impact on the citizens of Utah.
GOALS
To showcase and highlight success stories.
To tell the story of what is happening by county, watershed, project type, or water use, etc.
To tell the story of what is happening inside project areas.
To build an easy way to show the public how dollars are spent.
Project Timeline: Within the next 6 months
Acceptance Criteria
Scope of Work
We propose developing a web-based dashboard that includes one central map
with all the various activities related to water optimization. We will build in
queries and widgets for the data to remain easily accessible.
As part of our public transparency, This dashboard will have story maps that
showcase projects in each County and watershed. Each story map will show data
related to that project (water use and crop production)
The dashboard will show all data collected from the program. Such as the
number of projects, number of change applications, project type, quantity (flood
improvements, pivots, drip, etc), and total water use.
The dashboard will be interactive to show data for each category such as project
per county, type, water savings, dollars spent, etc.
*All data will be stored in Submittable
Task: Take the data from Submittable and create a user-friendly dashboard. With
an interactive map that can be accessed from the UDAFs webpage.
Deliverable: work with Water Optimization staff to create the dashboard in a user-
friendly format
Task: Create a story map that can be sorted by county, watershed, and project type
(pivot, flood improvement, subsurface drip, etc.) Easy to show in each of these
ways of sorting, the number of projects, acres improved, and dollars spent. water

Story Maps
Can be sorted by county, watershed (GSL, Colorado River Basin,
others),
project type, acre feet of water use, number of change applications, etc.
Each type of sorting will display dollars spent, water savings, project
type,
diversion, depletion, groundwater management, 1⁄4 mile from surface
water, etc for completed and current projects
The dashboard will display the mission, vision, values, goals, etc of the
program.
The dashboard must be user-friendly and interactive. All our data is currently
stored in Submittable. The dashboard will update regularly as more data comes
into the submittable.
The dashboard should be similar to the one found at this link
