Towards Integrated Water/Watershed Management: Data Strategies Clay Clifton EcoLayers, Inc.

Water environment an Integrated System; one scale is the watershed Historically, management of water resources has not been integrated 2

Regulatory and policy shift Integrated strategies result in More efficient and sustainable use of resources Better local/regional water augmentation and pollution prevention strategies Lower costs for resource management, permitting, and compliance Lower capital expenditures 3

What is Integration? The Integrated Water Environment 4

Integration Other Issues 1. Enable systemic optimization mirror the systemic aspects of the underlying ecosystem 2. Integration Data Management. It s really about the usability of data to enable better decisions by a larger constituency of decision makers. 3. Most water problems are local problems. Need local data, local stakeholders, local solutions. De-centralized solutions are better suited in water space than centralized one glove fits all approaches. 4. Integration at data level cannot be achieved without first meeting individual stake holder s objectives. 5
