Special projects
Working list of potential projects that we can do as human and financial resources come available - PLEASE ADD ON!
Requirements:
Succinct project details / instructions. A clear ask.
Mentor - a few people who know the data and the need who can help direct the project
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
Project Title | Concept | Owner | Datasets |
|---|---|---|---|
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) |
