Description
Given the mounting pressures on fresh water, water data is critical for decision making, not only for human and industrial uses, but also for functioning ecosystems. The Columbia Basin Water Hub makes water data readily available to those who need to access it. The Water Hub contains numerical and spatial data, reports, photos and other types of information about streams, lakes, wetlands, groundwater, snow, glaciers and climate in the Columbia Basin, both historical and current. The data is accessible for decision makers, researchers, students, professionals and the public. Data can be submitted by community-based monitoring groups; municipal, regional or First Nations governments; Indigenous knowledge holders; the private sector; or academia. Data can also be linked to existing databases.
