On October 23, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET, EPA's Watershed Academy will host a webinar for water-quality managers and others to learn about the new Water-Quality Portal for water-quality data The portal brings together chemical, physical and microbiological data from EPA's Storage and Retrieval Data Warehouse and USGS's National Water Information System for scientists, policy-makers, and the public in a single, user-friendly web interface, while reducing the burden of searching, compiling, and formatting water monitoring data for analysis. EPA's Water-Quality Exchange, a web-based data entry tool that enables data owners to upload their data so the public has access to the data through the new water quality portal, is also highlighted. Webcast participants can expect informational presentations, a demonstration of the portal in action, and are eligible to receive a certificate for their attendance.
