CMI Water Data Management Webinar
The Collaborative Monitoring Initiative (CMI) is an initiative launched by the POLIS Water Sustainability Project, an action-based research group at the University of Victoria’s Centre for Global Studies. The CMI recently held a webinar to assist in “raising the bar” on how water management groups in BC manage their water-related data for use in decision-making. The CMI provided an introduction to CMI and an example of water data use cases and the panel of guest speakers provided descriptions of water data management systems large and small, with emphasis on challenges and opportunities in connecting Community-Based Water Monitoring (CBWM) groups into decision-making processes.
The 2-hour webinar included presentations/discussions on the following topics:
Introduction to the Collaborative Monitoring Initiative and an example of a water data use case
Federal Geospatial Platform - Data Dissemination - Federal Approach to Data Sharing and Access
Water Data Management, Reporting & Open Government
The Columbia Basin Water Hub: Water and Community-Based Databases
Data Management in the Real World
