Colorado Data Sharing Network Project

 

Project Description

The Colorado Data Sharing Network was created by the Colorado Water Quality Monitoring Council. This project receives funding from the Colorado Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) through an EPA section 319 nonpoint source (NPS) grant and from contributions to the Colorado Water Quality Monitoring Council. Additional support is provided by:

 

Project Objectives

To establish a water quality data management system that meets the needs of Colorado’s NPS Grant Program and local data providers (manages input, output and simple manipulations for monitoring results).

 

Support and maintain web-based map to compliment the data management system that shares monitoring locations and water data.

 

Establish a directory to share contact information of water data users and generators throughout the state, monitoring objectives, what is being monitored and how. This objective is being accomplished through the development of the "Colorado Water Data User/Generator Directory".

 

To actively nurture use of the system state-wide.

 

To implement a sustainable strategy for future support and use.

 

The CDSN project is currently undergoing a transition from the decommissioned STORET database to a WQX compatible database. Similarly, the data tools used to submit and retrieve data from the database are being transitioned to a new and more powerful set of online tools. The new database and tool kit is called AWQMS (Ambient Water Quality Monitoring System). Please track the transition progress and try out the new AWQMS system via our WQX and Transition pages.

 

Throughout the transition the decommissioned STORET hosted database will remain available for viewing and retrieving data.

 

The current on-line STORET based mapping utility is also being decommissiioned. We are working on an all-new web mapping utility with greatly enhanced features. Please keep checking back.
