Water Features: An IoW Blog
The Internet of Water Coalition

Water challenges are mounting across the nation, impacting communities, states, and entire regions. Climate change is increasing the variability of water supplies, while population growth, urbanization, and industry are increasing water demand and degrading water quality. To adapt to these profound changes, decision-makers need easy access to information about the water resources they manage or rely on. In most cases, there is a wealth of public water data available, however, these data are often difficult to find, access, and use.

We cannot rise to the water challenges facing our nation without comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date data and information about our water resources. We aim to address this challenge by developing an Internet of Water, a modern water data infrastructure for the US.

Achieving an Internet of Water by 2030
To improve decision-making and ensure equitable, sustainable, and resilient water resources protection, development, and management, we must build an effective Internet of Water. These four recommendations will make an Internet of Water possible.
The Commons Releases a new API
The new public beta API for Water Reporter is a significant step forward in data democratization for the community science water quality movement. With the API, organizations can create powerful applications for their constituents, seamlessly pulling data for annual reports, analysis, and more!
New Report from Aspen-Nicholas Roundtable Series on Affordability

CUAHSI Hydroshare How-To Videos
CUAHSI's new HydroShare How-To video playlist includes short instructional videos on various actions that users can take in HydroShare, and provides information on how data is stored and discovered in HydroShare. You can find more information on these topics here.
Legislative Approaches to Water Data
The work to modernize water data infrastructure often goes on under the radar. But over the past few years, several western state legislatures have devoted attention and funding to the issue. Recently, Oregon became the latest state to write new policy around water data modernization.
