Special projects

Working list of potential projects that we can do as human and financial resources come available - PLEASE ADD ON!

Requirements:

  1. Succinct project details / instructions. A clear ask.

  2. Mentor - a few people who know the data and the need who can help direct the project

  3. Datasets to work with in the WDI space

Ideas may look like specific tasks or project, or more conceptual, such as -

  • Datathon

    • gather a bunch of legacy datasets

    • organize data for the hackathon

  • Hackathon

    • take a dataset, map to TWG common format

    • upload to WDI

      • update WDI ETL to handle this process

      • explore using existing tools such as Chillimport

  • “Web”-athon

    • improve look and feel DemoApp

    • add content to wordpress site

    • increase public exposure

Map visualization- Current Monitoring Locations for water

Unique symbology - points for surface water real time data - streams, irrigation, reservoirs. Plus Groundwater sites (monitored at least annually for past 5 years). Plus precip sites.

Stacy Timmons

USGS Strea gages and NWIS, NOAA weather stations, USBR RISE, and USACE dam info; ISC/OSE Networks / stations. NMBGMR GW level network + local networks for GW monitoring

Data readiness survey

Create checklist or summary report to help data providers evaluate if their data has met basic criteria for FAIR data sharing

Stacy Timmons

Examples in California to start from; compare to NM WDI reference architecture and TWG

Workshop

Discussion with universities about data collected and possible alignment with WDI and STA

University faculty working on water data collection

BYO data

CUAHSI Training

Train faculty at NM universities to collect water data in a standardized way, and provide options for sharing data

Thushara? Stacy?Jennifer Lindline

 

hackathon 2

Building the tool/ analytical piece to utilize data from Hackathon 1

Jake, Jeanine

 

hackathon 1

Standardizing the data / making it accessible

Grab raw data/ heterogeneous data from CKAN and group will process through STA formatted

Jake, Jeanine, Kyle

 

Datathon

 

 

 

Forecasting water availability for specific uses

Using data available, build tools that provide predictive analysis for water availability in future scenarios. Starts with historic data trend analysis. May be limited data, so will need to interpolate between data points in time and space.

Stacy

Numerous - climate models? Long term water data (groundwater levels, surface water flow, aquifer maps)
