SUMMARY:2018 Water Information Management Systems (WIMS) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Goals: WSWC is re-introducing the WIMS to increase dialogue among not only member state appointees\, but among their IT and program staff also. The intent is to discover the needs of WSWC members and their highest priorities regarding water data acquisition\, quality control\, and publication. Jointly hosted by WSWC and NASA’s Western Water Applications Office (WWAO)\, this WIMS focuses on water use reporting/permitting systems\, IT-related adjudications topics\, use of cloud computing and big data\, an overview of advances and recent projects pertaining to remote-sensing techniques with participation from NASA’s WWAO office\, and open water data platforms and trends. Future WIMS topics will also be discussed. \n \nTo all attendees\, we hope that this workshop was fun and informative. Thanks to your feedback\, the next WIMS will be even better! \nMEETING MATERIALS: \n\nNEW! WIMS Workshop Summary\n2018 WIMS Workshop Agenda\nUpdated WIMS Attendee List\nNEW!!
