CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System Workshop - ICEWATER 2009

TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY, August 4th and 5th, 2009

INTRODUCTION

This was a workshop held in Boise, ID to instruct the data managers in the ICEWATER Consortium on how to publish and access water resources data, including setting up an HIS Server with the new geographic features.

Pam Aishlin <pamaishlin@boisestate.edu> was the main point of contact.

The workshop was 2 days long, with a basic overview of the HIS system, as well as the new geographic features of the HIS Server that are now being released.
