• ICEWATER – INRA Constellation of
Experimental WATERsheds
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

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.
ICEWATER CI Architecture
• Each University
creates an
autonomous
data node
• A central node
provides
support services
Point Observations Data
Internet Applications
Ongoing Data Collection
Historical Data Files
GIS Data
HIS Server
Data Node

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
