Abstract

NHDPlus Activities in Support of the Open Water Data Initiative
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Alan Rea, Tommy Dewald

The Open Water Data Initiative (OWDI) is an initiative that seeks to make water data more readily available and interoperable for modeling and other applications. Early OWDI activities have identified the NHDPlus Version 2.1 as a key data framework upon which a great many applications are, or will be, based. A working group is testing ways to share the NHDPlus datasets as web services. Current results of the testing and examples of web services and apps will be shared.
