Greg Gearheart, deputy director of Information Management and Analysis for the State Water Resources Control Board, will discuss the California Water Data Challenge tonight at The Hacker Lab in Sacramento.
Last week the state of California and the White House announced the California Water Data Challenge, which invites interested individuals and teams to develop apps, websites, data visualizations or other tools “that leverage publicly available data sets in novel ways to support creative solutions to California’s water challenges, as outlined in the Brown administration’s California Water Action Plan.”
Sponsors of the challenge include the State Water Board, the California Department of Water Resources, California Fish and Wildlife, California Government Operations Agency, and the California Department of Technology. The state agencies have joined the White House Council on Environmental Quality to launch the competition. Entries must be submitted by Dec. 5.
