Steering Committee
The Water Data Collaborative was initially formed in 2017 with funding from the Pisces Foundation to help answer the question of how technology could be used to transform and support community water science. The Committee brings together, for the first time, representatives of community water science networks, innovative water science technologists, along with stewards and users of water data. Our goal is to develop resources that support the collection and management of water data to protect our shared resource — water.

Charter Organizations
The Water Data Collaborative officially convened in 2017 out of a shared mission to both support community water science across the United States and highlight its immense potential. Formed by seven charter organizations across the water sector, these groups helped to set the foundation for what the Water Data Collaborative has become — a coalition of experts and change-makers dedicated to growing community-based water quality monitoring and the impact of its data.
