Project Summary: This research, outreach, and information dissemination project will educate teachers and students on methods and techniques to integrate water quality data and maps from multiple distributed sources. The Water Resources Research Act of 1984 authorizes grants for technology transfer and the dissemination of research results to the public. This information dissemination project will increase the hydrologic communities capacity through teacher and student engagement to automate large volumes of water quality data and geospatial data for applications in hydrologic analysis, operations, and public communications.
