California Water Atlas Seeks to Clarify Water Issues
From the Associated Press:
“Access to data about groundwater levels, pollutants and who owns the rights to siphon water from rivers and aquifers is available through government websites, but the information is often obscured by outdated or ineffective technology.
“Now a group of self-described ‘nature nerds’ made up of database experts, academics and conservationists are trying to bring meaning to the state’s mass of water data. The effort is called The New California Water Atlas, and will use interactive maps powered by government data that are currently publicly available, but hard to synthesize.”
