EMBEDEARTH / SEARCH API

Storm Drain Search API

Map stormwater drains and connect them to roads, flood zones, waterways, and drainage infrastructure.

SEARCH WORKFLOW

From intent to results that remain useful in maps, routes, and spatial analysis.

core search

Search Stormwater Drains by Region, Radius, Polygon, or Viewport

Search stormwater drains by geography instead of relying on text alone. EDK supports regional search, bounding boxes, polygons, radii, and viewport queries, making storm drain API useful for local discovery, infrastructure research, and programmatic geographic analysis.

developers

Use Stormwater Drains Across Backend, Browser, Pipeline, and AI

EDK lets developers use stormwater drains as more than one endpoint. Search produces structured geography, maps and tiles render it, routing measures access, and Compute handles relationships. API, SDK, CLI, and MCP expose those capabilities for different parts of the stack.

monitoring

Monitor Stormwater Drains as Infrastructure Changes

Keep stormwater drains tied to the surrounding network and compare changes in coverage, nearby development, or related assets over time. EDK can support recurring geographic checks so infrastructure teams can track where the physical context around a facility is changing.

network

Model the Stormwater Drains Network, Not Just Individual Features

Analyze how stormwater drains connect to roads, flood zones, waterways. Measure spacing, service relationships, gateway access, or network proximity across a region. This turns stormwater GIS data into a geographic system for planning and operations instead of a collection of disconnected points.

maps

Turn Storm Drain Map into a Product Layer

Map stormwater drains without maintaining a separate visualization index. EDK can return map-ready geometry, update results as the viewport changes, and combine the primary layer with roads and flood zones. Styling remains under the application’s control.

routing

Use Routing for Inspection Routing

Use EDK Routing for inspection routing. Compare real road or walking travel time, search inside an isochrone, or find stormwater drains within a route corridor. This is more useful than straight-line distance when access depends on roads, crossings, terrain, or network structure.

tiles

Serve Stormwater Drains as Vector Tiles at Large Scale

When a storm drain map covers thousands or millions of features, load only the geography visible at the current zoom and viewport. EDK vector tiles keep broad stormwater drains layers lightweight while preserving styling and interaction for regional or national maps.

coverage

Measure Stormwater Drains Coverage and Geographic Gaps

Use catchments, nearest-distance analysis, and counts to see where stormwater drains are concentrated and where coverage breaks down. Combine stormwater GIS data with roads and flood zones to identify underserved areas, redundant facilities, or regions where new capacity may matter.
