Water Data Resources

There exist numerous, web-based water portals that provide links to a variety of water data. We have developed a list of those sites highlighted by the papers in this special issue. Accessing and using water data is a metric of success. Further research needs to be conducted to determine what audiences are using these data and how “user-friendly” such sites are. This represents just a slice of the global water “data landscape.” Appendix 1 of Gallaher and Heikkila’s paper provides a table of a sample of water agencies examined in the U.S. that provide city, local, and regional state data.
