The Second Colorado River Basin Data and Modeling Roundtable: Webinar
2020-05-27 00:00 - 2020-05-28 00:00
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.

This 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.
Roundtable Goals

Serve 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
Highlight 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
Report on progress on water data initiatives and laws in state and federal agencies
Identify 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.

Agenda and Meeting Materials
The agenda and meeting materials are posted here: 2020 Colorado Basin Roundtable Materials.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES:
This 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:
1. Strengthen agency partnerships and continue building an inter-agency community to facilitate R2O in water resource management by:
a. Including participants across Federal agencies that have research and/or operational involvement in water resource management, including representatives from USGS, NOAA, NASA, and USBR;
b. Structuring the workshop to be interactive and dialogue-based; and
c. 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.
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:
a. Engaging WestFAST members in the workshop Steering Committee; and
b. Identifying technologies that meet water resource management needs and have high potential for R2O.
3. Develop a strategy for raising awareness and support within state and federal government for R2O through:
a. Defining what “success” looks like;
b. Discussing and documenting a pathway and associated timeline for financial planning for R2O, learning from projects that have been successful in R2O;
c. Discussing and documenting a pathway and associated timeline for technical planning and coordination, learning from successful projects; and
d. Helping the research community understand the process and lead times necessary for successful transition of projects to operational federal agency programs.
To 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.

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.
This 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.
WORKSHOP GOALS:
1. 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;
2. Discover and document best practices for successful application transition; and
3. Identify current barriers to technology transfer and establish pathways to overcome those barriers.

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.
This 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.
WORKSHOP GOALS:
1. 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;
2. Discover and document best practices for successful application transition; and
3. Identify current barriers to technology transfer and establish pathways to overcome those barriers.

U.S. Department of Agriculture – Economic Research Service: preliminary work on irrigation survey for water and irrigation districts
2018-07-26 00:00
The introduction is missing from the recording – here are the basic – Steven Wallander and Marcel Aillery of USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) along with members of the WestFAST and WSWC on a new Survey of Irrigation Organizations under development by ERS and USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) with additional support from USDA’s Office of the Chief Economist (OCE). The purpose of this project is to collect current information on irrigation water-supply management entities: irrigation districts (and other private entities) as well as groundwater management districts, as part of the USDA’s data development and research on drought resilience and farm-level irrigation decisions. A national census or survey of irrigation organizations in forty years. In that time, many aspects of local water management institutions have changed, including the number and size of irrigation organizations, the pricing structures used for cost recovery, the reliance on new sources of water quantity data, and an expanded emphasis on groundwater management. The new survey of irrigation organizations will develop a dataset on district-scale characteristics and resource use, with special emphasis on water allocation institutions and conservation policies that impact farm-level drought response and resiliency.

EPA’s Water Innovation Fund
2017-08-24 00:00
Water Innovation Fund
The Water Funder Initiative is (WFI) is a collaborative effort to identify and activate promising water solutions through strategic philanthropic investments in the U.S., starting in the West where the scarcity and reliability of clean water are urgent issues. The goal of the Water Innovation Fund (“the Fund”) is to accelerate the adoption of promising water innovations by small and mid-sized utilities (SMUs) that are likely to improve system cost structures, resilience and performance. To do this, the Fund will leverage a small portion of the existing cash-balances in the SRFs, alongside philanthropic capital to support early adoption of promising innovations by SMUs.
