The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI)

CUAHSI: The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is an organization of more than one hundred universities. Its mission is to foster advancements in hydrologic sciences, through developing and disseminating a broad-based research and education agenda for the hydrologic sciences, identifying the needed resources and facilitating their acquisition, and conducting education, outreach and technology transfer programs aimed at enhancing the visibility, appreciation and understanding of hydrologic sciences. CUAHSI participates in several NSF-funded projects, including the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS). The project has four goals: to provide data services for hydrologists, to support the CUAHSI observatories, to advance hydrologic science and to improve hydrologic education. In the Phase II of the CUAHSI HIS effort, the HIS team is partnering with the 11 WATERS network observatory testbed sites recently funded by NSF. Several of the test beds are interested in real time and historical water quality or quantity monitoring (in Iowa, Utah, Minnesota, North Carolina, Susquehanna river basin and Corpus Christi Bay). These testbeds would benefit from the software developed in this project, and provide deployment feedback. Further details can be found at: www.cuahsi.org/
