The document discusses a watershed modeling system called BCube that aims to decrease the effort of watershed initialization by brokering various global geospatial and environmental data required for watershed modeling. BCube allows researchers to focus on scientific research by providing a single access point to the different data formats and sources for elevation, soils, land use, weather, and other data needed to set up and run watershed models. The document provides an overview of the types of data BCube can broker and the workflow where a scientist requests data for a watershed area and BCube returns the available options to choose from.
