Volunteer groups tag City storm drains to notify the public that these drains are only for stormwater, and lead directly to waterways. This map shows which drains are tagged within the City.

Urban heat islands are small areas where temperatures are unnaturally high - usually due to dense buildings, expansive hard surfaces, or a lack of tree cover or greenspace. People living in these communities are exposed to more dangerous conditions, especially as daytime high and nighttime low temperatures increase over time. NOAA Climate Program Office and CAPA Strategies have partnered with cities around the United States to map urban heat islands. Using Sentinel-2 satellite thermal data along with on-the-ground sensors, air temperature and heat indexes are calculated for morning, afternoon, and evening time periods. The NOAA Visualization Lab, part of the NOAA Satellite and Information Service, has made the original heat mapping data available as dynamic image services.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: heat indexUnits: degrees Fahrenheit Cell Size: 30 metersPixel Type: 32 bit floating pointData Coordinate Systems: WGS84 Mosaic Projection: WGS84 Extent: cities within the United StatesSource: NOAA and CAPA StrategiesPublication Date: September 20, 2021What can you do with this layer?This imagery layer supports communities' UHI spatial analysis and mapping capabilities.

The City operates a real-time surface water monitoring system. This link allows the public access to precipitation, stage and flow data. Real-time data can be viewed, and past data can be downloaded.

USNG is standard that established a nationally consistent grid reference system. It provides a seamless plane coordinate system across jurisdictional boundaries and map scales; it enables precise position referencing with GPS, web map portals, and hardcopy maps. USNG enables a practical system of geoaddresses and a universal map index. This data resides in the GCS 1983 coordinate system and is most suitable for viewing over North America.

This layer shows 100 meter grid squares for the Columbia SC metropolitan area.

Although the exact locations of these mounds is unknown, the name of the county is which they are located is. This map shows the counties that are home to Native American mounds that are known to exist in South Carolina. Green dots are placed in the counties with only one mound and red dots are in the counties that have two mounds.
