[object Object],[object Object],key challenges How to  connect this collective community  of water stakeholders and all of this water data and knowledge… in a way that  adds value, avoids duplication,  and is  complimentary  to the goals and work that each of these groups are pursuing .  Research Gov’t Watershed  Groups Industry Public First Nations Water Users NGO’s
key challenges The need to collaborate and share knowledge is becoming more acute as governments, environmental groups, industry, scientists, and others are being called upon to build and strengthen environmental and conservation actions and plans… … and as the issue of environmental stewardship and protection is becoming a key public concern and is creating  increasing demand for more data, information sharing and discussion  from a whole new community of people that were not previously engaged.
key challenges Providing  improved transparency and access to available water and environmental data, information and knowledge  is a crucial first step in building multi-stakeholder and collaborative partnerships… … and making better decisions on where to focus scarce resources (priorities) on policy, research, technology commercialization, industry investment, and public engagement.

Editor's Notes

  1. Today we are both empowered by laptops connected to wireless high speed networks and swamped by information that that provides. For many this is a problem including organizations that collect data. However, if we could easily sort through this mess we have an opportunity.
