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.

Tomorrow: What's New and What's Coming in HydroDesktop
HydroDesktop
is the most widely used portal to the 95+ data sources registered in the CUAHSI
Hydrologic Information System (HIS). HydroDesktop is a free and open source
Geographic Information System-based tool that enables searching, downloading,
visualizing, and analyzing of hydrologic and climate data registered in the
CUAHSI HIS. As a research and development project, the HydroDesktop team, led
by Brigham Young University, periodically releases new iterations of the
software which is driven by user defined bug reports and feature requests
facilitated by a web based software management system at http://hydrodesktop.codeplex.com.
Dr. Dan Ames, the HydroDesktop project lead, will discuss this open source
development process, will also detail the newest features in the current
recommended release, version 1.5.12, and will discuss proposed features
proposed for 2013 and beyond.
