Today, we have a couple of announcements related to the Water Data Center. First, the new Data Center website is up and running at http://wdc.cuahsi.org. The website located at http://his.cuahsi.org will now become an archive of the HIS Research project, which was led by David Maidment (University of Texas at Austin) and concluded in 2011.
Additionally, in establishing the Data Center, we are in need of policies that will guide the vision and its operation. Drafts of these policies have been posted to this blog, and are available for comment until July 17. Please review these documents and post your comments today!
The WDC provides data services to the hydrologic science community and other critical-zone science communities that require access to various sources of water data to perform research on fundamental challenges in hydrology and Earth System science. Founded in 2001, the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is a 501(c)3 research organization representing more than 120 U.S. universities and international water science-related organizations.
