• Inland Northwest Research Alliance (INRA) Water Research Consortium - coalition of eight universities working in cooperation with the US Department of Energy– Boise State University– Idaho State University– Montana State University– University of Alaska Fairbanks– University of Idaho– University of Montana– Utah State University– Washington State University
• ICEWATER – INRA Constellation of Experimental WATERsheds
What is ICEWATER?
ICEWATER Research Themes
• Snowmelt and runoff– Linkages between snow accumulation, snowmelt, watershed
characteristics, runoff source areas, and water routing– Water yield and flow regime and effects of land use and climate change
• Groundwater/ surface water interactions– Improved understanding of the dynamics of groundwater and
surface water interactions – Improved management of water resources
• Human altered systems– Effects of human alterations and water resources and
management infrastructure and policies on water quantity, quality, and the hydrologic functioning of watersheds
Our Goal: An ICEWATER Information System
• Advances in water research are critically dependent on the assembly and integration of water data
• Collect, organize and share water data of interest to the INRA water research community
ICEWATER Data• Point Observations
– Stream gages– Water quality sampling– Weather stations– Soil moisture– Snow monitoring– Groundwater
level/quality• Spatially Distributed
Data– Land use/cover– Terrain– Hydrography
ICEWATER Cyberinfrastructure – The CUAHSI HIS
An internet based system to support the sharing of hydrologic data comprising databases connected using the internet through web services as well as software for data discovery, access
and publication.
Web services and SchemaWaterOneFlow and WaterML
to transmit hydrologic data in a standard way

Publication of Spatial (GIS) Datasets
• Publishing spatial datasets using ArcGIS Server– Using OGC standards that
can be consumed by a number of GIS clients
Data Discovery Via a Map Interface
• Internet Map Server using ArcGIS
• Web browser client• Combine spatial data
and observational data
• Launch data visualization tools

Data Preview, Visualization, and Analysis
• Time Series Analyst• Web Browser Client• Multiple Database
Support• Variety of plot types and
descriptive statistics• Linked to the map server
application• Enables data preview and
downloadhttp://tsa.usu.edu/odmanalyst/
Data Node Website
