The Internet of Water
Monday, September 14 at 2:30 PM

Visit the SDWIS User Community to view a recording of this session.

The Internet of Water is a project established at Duke University in 2018, premised on the idea that efforts to improve water management outcomes in the United States routinely stumble on the problem of inaccessible water data and information. The IoW envisions a world engaged in sustainable water resources management and stewardship enabled by open, shared, and integrated water data and information. The IoW’s mission is to build a voluntary network of communities and institutions to achieve that vision. The IoW project is also conducting novel research and development on water data informatics, building prototype software and tools to discover, access and use diverse water data from diverse sources. The IoW is designed to mobilize cultural and behavioral change across individuals, agencies, and institutions, to bring about the necessary technological change that will transform water data and information and thus enable better water management outcomes.

Panelists:

- Peter Colohan, Executive Director, Internet of Water
- Kyle Onda, Data Architect, Internet of Water
- Ashley Ward, Senior Policy Associate for Outreach and Engagement, Internet of Water
