181: California Water Data Consortium

Robyn Grimm, Chief Executive Officer & President of the California Water Data Consortium, joins us to discuss the Consortium and its very cool mission. As a public/private collaborative non-profit, the Consortium makes the most of California's water data by: 1) developing tangible ways to apply and scale data systems; 2) convening the parties collecting, distributing, and reporting on water data to establish best practices and coordinated strategies; 3) informing data policies and modernization; and 4) telling the story of California water data. This is a great discussion and a very cool organization that could be replicated in other States looking to bring more value to their water data.
