Water: WATERS
The Watershed Assessment, Tracking & Environmental Results System (WATERS) unites water quality information previously available only from several independent and unconnected databases. EPA gathers water quality information to address public concerns such as:
- How healthy is my watershed?
- Can I drink the water?
- Can I eat the fish?
- Is it safe to swim in the water?
To answer these questions EPA must examine data from several different databases. WATERS has the power to improve program efficiency, communication, and analytical capacity by linking these databases so the information can easily be shared and combined.
- Basic Information about the system.
- Download Data from WATERS to support environmental analysis.
- Documentation about the system and associated data sets.
- Mailing List allowing partners to stay informed about announcements related to WATERS.
- Tools using the WATERS data in support of environmental analysis.
- Web Services to perform complex analysis based on WATERS related data.
- Mapping services providing access to WATERS data to support data visualization.
