SUMMARY:State Engineer Persona Workshop: Western States Water Data Access and Analysis Tool (WestDAAT)
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the WSWC Summer Meetings in Polson\, Montana\, on Wednesday morning\, August 3\, from 8:30-10:45 am\, WaDE staff invited WSWC members\, particularly state engineers and other state water rights administrators\, to participate in a demonstration and feedback workshop on our Western States Water Data Access and Analysis Tool (WestDAAT).  Virtual participation will also be possible should you or your staff be unable to participate in person. \nThe intent of the workshop was to familiarize members and others with the tool and encourage hands-on practice with possible applications.  The workshop is designed to test WestDAAT capabilities and dashboard query tools for water rights data covering WSWC states. How could WestDAAT help each state in its water rights permitting and water resources planning functions?   \nThe WestDAAT dashboard prototype culminates a 10-year WaDE effort\, working with WSWC member states to streamline access to water rights data\, and it will be publicly released in March 2023.  At present\, over 1.4 million water rights across 2.7 million Points of Diversion and Places of Use and related attributes of those rights (metadata) are available via WestDAAT.  More data will be stored and accessible as it becomes available. \nSome of the questions WestDAAT might help water right administrators address include the following: \n\nWhat junior water rights are there above a particular senior point of diversion?  \nIn the case of a “call\,” which water users should be notified?\nWhat water rights might be affected by a proposed change in the point of diversion or change in the place of use?\nIn order to protect flows leased or otherwise dedicated to downstream uses\, which water users/water right holders may need to be notified to temporarily forego diversions (shepherding conserved water downstream to a specific reservoir or another point)?\nHow do other western states regulate water use and to what beneficial uses?\nWhat beneficial uses are recognized by other western states?\nHow other western states have progressed in adjudicating their water rights based on the legal status of rights?\nWhat metadata is associated with the water right?\n\n  \nReport\n \nComing soon. \n

SUMMARY:Improving Snowmelt Runoff Forecasting
DESCRIPTION:The Western States Water Council and the California Department of Water Resources are cosponsoring a workshop on Improving Snowmelt Runoff Forecasting. Improving operational runoff forecasting to meet the needs of water managers and users is a challenge\, particularly given limited agency budgets for observations\, monitoring\, research\, development\, and modeling. Climate change and variability seem to be driven faster than our science and technological advances. Moreover\, it takes a relatively long period of time to put improvements in place and build confidence in accurate and durable projections. The purpose of this one-day workshop is to explore our present capacity and opportunities to take the next steps to improve runoff forecasting. \nMATERIALS:\nAgenda\nPre-Registrants List\nUSBR – West-Wide Climate and Hydrology Assessment (2021) \nMEETING REGISTRATION: There is no registration fee to attend\, but we are asking all individuals\, regardless of in person or virtual attendance to please register in advance. Please fill out only one of the appropriate forms below.  If you have any questions\, please contact Julie Groat at jgroat@wswc.utah.gov.\n \nIn Person Registration ONLY:  In Person Registration Form\n \nVirtual Attendance ONLY:  Virtual Registration Form  \nMEETING FACILITY: The workshop is being held in Salt Lake City\, Utah on June 1\, 2022 at the Utah Department of Environmental Quality building located at 195 North 1950 West\, Salt Lake City\, UT 84116.

SUMMARY:The Second Colorado River Basin Data and Modeling Roundtable: Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Western States Water Council is hosting this second roundtable as a follow-up to the first “Internet of Water Roundtable: Colorado River Basin\,” organized by the Aspen Institute and Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions in January 2019 in Salt Lake City\, Utah. The Aspen Institute’s Dialogue Series on water data led to its report\, “Internet of Water: Sharing and Integrating Water Data for Sustainability\,” which presented a vision for a national policy framework to address institutional barriers to scaling and integrating water data and information to support sustainable water management. The first roundtable recommended continuing discussions and coordination among three ongoing projects\, the Internet of Water (IoW)\, the Water Data Exchange (WaDE) program\, and the OpenET project.  \n  \nThis second roundtable will bring together groups from Colorado River Basin federal and state agencies to present progress over the last year and discuss the next steps on modeling and data sharing.  The projects’ teams are working toward laying a foundation of open and interoperable water data and all have significant applications for water management in the Colorado River basin. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and concerns\, the roundtable was adapted to a 2-day webinar.  \nRoundtable Goals\n\nServe as a forum for the Colorado River Basin States\, federal agencies\, and others to discuss efforts in mapping and reconciling differences in water use estimates and data sharing\nHighlight what has been accomplished across the OpenET\, IOW\, and WaDE projects to estimate water use\, reconcile water glossaries and budget models\, and demonstrate WaDE 2.0 platform\nReport on progress on water data initiatives and laws in state and federal agencies\nIdentify areas of mutual interest and ways to collaborate; and offer some practical\, on-the-ground next steps on how the OpenET\, WaDE\, and IOW projects can further help the Colorado Basin States.\n\nAgenda and Meeting Materials\nThe agenda and meeting materials are posted here: 2020 Colorado Basin Roundtable Materials. \nParticipants\nThe roundtable will draw around 40 participants from the WaDE\, OpenET\, and IOW projects and from invited policy and decision-makers from federal and state agencies and researchers across the seven Colorado River Basin States: Arizona\, California\, Colorado\, New Mexico\, Nevada\, Utah\, Wyoming. \nPresentations and Recordings\nWednesday Webinar \nProgress on Water Data Initiatives Update\n\nInternet of Water Update: Ashley Ward\, Senior Policy Associate and Kyle Onda\, Data Architect –Internet of Water\nOpenET Project Update: Robyn Grimm\, Senior Manager – Water Information Systems -Environmental Defense Fund\, and Forrest Melton\, Program Scientist – NASA Western Water Application Office (WWAO)\nWater Data Exchange (WaDE) Program Update:  Adel Abdallah\, Program Manager and Ryan James\, Data Analyst –Western States Water Council \n\nColorado River Basin: State Water Data Initiatives – Progress on Modeling Water Use and Sharing Data \n\nWyoming:  Jodee Pring\, Supervisor\, River Basin Planning – Wyoming and  Water Development Office AND Charlie Ferrantelli\, River Basin Coordinator – Wyoming State Engineer’s Office\nCalifornia AB1755: Streamlining Water Data Submissions to the State Joaquin Esquivel\, Board Chair – California Control Board and Kamyar Guivetchi\, Manager\, Division of Planning – California Department of Water Resources\nColorado River Basin Consumptive Use and Loss Reporting:  James Prairie\, Hydrologic Engineer – Bureau of Reclamation\n\n  \nThursday Webinar \nColorado River Basin: State Water Data Initiatives – Progress on Modeling Water Use and Sharing Data \n\nArizona: Kyle Miller\, Planning Manager – Arizona Department of Water Resources and Marcus Shapiro\, Water Systems Supervisor – Central Arizona Project\n\nColorado: Rebecca Mitchell\, Director and Brian Macpherson\, Decision Support System Specialist – Colorado Water Conservation Board\n\nNevada: Seth Shanahan\, Colorado River Programs Manager – Southern Nevada Water Authority\nUtah: Todd Stonely\, Assistant Director\, Utah Division of Water Resources\n\nNew Mexico: Stacy Timmons – Associate Director\, Hydrogeology – New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources\, and Rolf Schmidt Petersen\, Director – New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission

SUMMARY:WSWC – NASA Western Water Applications Office (WWAO) Research to Operations (R2O) Workshop – POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID19 Travel Restrictions and Concerns\, the R2O Workshop April 22-23\, 2020 is CANCELLED until further notice.\n\n\nVENUE: National Academy of Sciences Beckman Center\n100 Academy\, Irvine\, California 92617 \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES:  \nThis workshop will build upon the insights identified and connections established in August 2019 during the first WSWC-WWAO workshop on research to operations (R2O) for Western water management. This year\, the workshop objectives aim to advance the priorities established in the last workshop and outlined in the summary workshop report. The 2020 workshop objectives are to: \n1. Strengthen agency partnerships and continue building an inter-agency community to facilitate R2O in water resource management by: \na. Including participants across Federal agencies that have research and/or operational involvement in water resource management\, including representatives from USGS\, NOAA\, NASA\, and USBR; \nb. Structuring the workshop to be interactive and dialogue-based; and \nc. Soliciting feedback and follow-up engagement from participants in the development of a workshop report that synthesizes the current shared challenges\, best practices\, and pathway forward for R2O in water resource management. \n 2. Develop WSWC’s WestFAST network to be a bridge to help transition new technologies and information products for water resources management to operational federal programs\, including\, but not limited to\, remote sensing-based measurement technologies and sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) weather forecasting by: \na. Engaging WestFAST members in the workshop Steering Committee; and \nb. Identifying technologies that meet water resource management needs and have high potential for R2O.  \n3. Develop a strategy for raising awareness and support within state and federal government for R2O through: \na. Defining what “success” looks like; \nb. Discussing and documenting a pathway and associated timeline for financial planning for R2O\, learning from projects that have been successful in R2O; \nc. Discussing and documenting a pathway and associated timeline for technical planning and coordination\, learning from successful projects; and \nd. Helping the research community understand the process and lead times necessary for successful transition of projects to operational federal agency programs. \nTo accomplish these objectives\, the workshop will bring together partners from federal and state agencies that have experience with technology transfer\, or that have programs that could be adopters of new technology and remotely sensed information products from NASA\, NOAA and USGS. Together we will identify best practices to transfer applied research to operational programs in western federal\, state\, and local water agencies and tribes. \nAGENDA:  \nREGISTRATION:\nRegistration is required for all meeting speakers and attendees.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________\nSuggested Accommodations: \nHotels offering Federal per diem rate ($181) and airport shuttle \nEmbassy Suites Irvine Orange County Airport\n2120 Main Street\, Irvine\, CA 92614\n949-553-8332 \nDoubleTree by Hilton – Orange County Airport\n7 Hutton Centre Drive\, Santa Ana\, CA 92707\n714-751-2400 \nDoubleTree by Hilton Santa Ana/Orange County Airport\n201 E.

SUMMARY:(2019) WSWC/NASA Technology Transfer for Water Management in the Western United States
DESCRIPTION:WSWC/NASA Technology Transfer for Water Management in the Western United States\, 2019\nOVERVIEW:  The Western States Water Council (WSWC) is sponsoring a workshop on technology transfer for water management in the western United States with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Western Water Applications Office on August 7-9\, 2019 in Irvine\, California. \nNASA provides data and information to assist state\, local and federal water agencies in responding to complex problems through its Earth observations\, tools and scientific expertise.  Water managers recognize the value of NASA’s capabilities for decision support\, but it has been challenging to use the data operationally.  Similarly\, other federal and state agencies face challenges related to transitioning research projects to improve operations and management. \nThis workshop will bring together NASA scientists with partners from federal and state agencies that have experience with technology transfer to identify best practices to streamline the process and communicate the need to actively plan for an effective transition. \nWORKSHOP GOALS:\n1.  Build agency partnerships and a network of experts to facilitate the application and transition of technology from NASA to water resources management for decision support;\n2.  Discover and document best practices for successful application transition; and\n3.  Identify current barriers to technology transfer and establish pathways to overcome those barriers. \nAGENDA:   Agenda NASA-WWAO WSWC Technology Transfer Workshop\n \nR2O 2019 workshop report
