In this webinar, Western States Water Council (WSWC) staff will demonstrate the capabilities, highlight insights, and showcase examples of the Western States Water Data Access and Analysis Tool (WestDAAT). Featuring Adel Abdallah, Ryan James, and Tony Willardson of the Western States Water Council.

Left Turns, Lessons Learned, and the Open (Data) Road Ahead. Featuring the Gordon Foundation's Carolyn DuBois and Lindsay Day

The Internet of Water Team at CGS will provide a detailed presentation and update for general audiences on the Internet of Water’s flagship technology, Geoconnex. When completed, this geospatial index will be capable of searching and retrieving any water metadata published in the United States, and ultimately North America and beyond. Geoconnex relies on a distributed linked data system.

Duke Water Network is hosting a virtual fall symposium on the unique challenges of water management in the western United States.

Ashley Ward, Senior Policy Associate for Engagement and Outreach, Internet of Water Coalition (IoW), and Lauren Patterson, Senior Policy Associate, Water Policy Program, along with other IoW partners, will present two "TOOL TIME! Water Data Improvements" workshops at the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) Conference on Monday, November 7.

In this Internet of Water Coalition webinar, The Commons presents its advancements in connecting people through the WDC Mainstem Network and sharing data through the Water Reporter API.

In this Internet of Water Coalition webinar, Scott Baldwin (Hagerty Consulting) will discuss the structure of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's BRIC program and how communities are beginning to use these funds to prepare for future natural disasters, including droughts.

The Open Geospatial Consortium’s family of API standards are helping make geospatial data on the web more accessible and interoperable. This presentation will introduce pygeoapi – a Python server implementation of OGC’s standards. Kyle Onda, from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy’s Center for Geospatial Solutions, will walk you through how to set up an API endpoint and discuss several ideas for how to use this flexible, open-source API framework for water data applications.

This two-part workshop series from the Internet of Water Coalition will feature a project-based overview of concepts and open-source tools for performing geospatial analyses with hydrologic data using web services in R and Python. Join us for practical demonstrations and guidance for all experience levels.

The expansion of permanent cropland and continuing growth of urban communities are increasing demands on California’s limited water resources. These conditions are driving innovation to improve water risk management due to volatile hydrology. Urban agencies and Central Valley farmers regularly transact in a water market that is under new competitive pressure as participants manage this new normal. To provide greater market transparency, WestWater Research and Nasdaq have developed the NQH2O index which provides a weekly snapshot of California water prices.

Join us for practical demonstrations and guidance for all experience levels.

The annual Municipal Finance Conference brings together academics, practitioners, issuers, and regulators to discuss recent research on municipal capital markets and state and local fiscal issues. The conference is a joint venture of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings, the Rosenberg Institute of Global Finance at the Brandeis International Business School, the Olin Business School at Washington University in St.

Since 2001, across a 35,000 km2 area, the Oak Ridges Moraine Groundwater Program (ORMGP) has carved out a path to collect, manage, and, via a multi-faceted website, share a wealth of water-related data and interpretations, all aimed at improving land use and water-related decision making in Ontario, Canada. In this webinar, Steve Holysh, Program Co-Manager and Senior Hydrogeologist at ORMGP, will provide an overview of the website, outlining a potential data and resource management path for others to follow and build upon.

Access to water is a main component in human survival throughout history. Clean drinking water, plentiful water for agriculture, navigable waterways for commerce, rivers for hydropower, water sources for fisheries — all of these aquatic considerations and many more drive whether entire societies succeed or fail. Dive in with the Duke Alumni Forever Learning Institute as they explore the liquid of life in the World of Water webinar series.

The seventh seminar in the Gilman Climate Leaders Seminar Series will feature insights from Erika Weinthal (Duke University) on the role water has played in Central Asian/Middle Eastern conflicts, and how that role might grow through climate change.

States struggle to complete Clean Water Act Assessments due to the complexity of gathering and analyzing massive datasets. Arizona used free open-source software to reduce the time it takes to generate an assessment from 9 months to 15 minutes. In this webinar, Jason Jones, Senior Scientist at the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, will demonstrate how Arizona’s publicly accessible interactive Water Quality Assessment Dashboard provides full transparency behind each decision and informs users of what additional data is needed to fill data gaps.

Over the past year, Haw River Assembly has partnered with The Commons to integrate its water quality monitoring programs within Water Reporter – a digital platform for community science. Hear from Emily Sutton, the Haw Riverkeeper, on the environmental issues facing the river and how Water Reporter helps users to better understand those issues and identify solutions.

Why is stakeholder engagement important? Is all stakeholder engagement the same? Should we engage differently with stakeholders around technology projects? Ashley Ward, Engagement and Outreach Associate for the Internet of Water Project at Duke University, has been engaging with stakeholders throughout the nation on a diversity of topics for over a decade.
