Open and Transparent Water Data Act — Implementation Journal

As the world moves toward data-driven decisions and governmental transparency, the 2016 Open and Transparent Water Data Act (AB 1755, Dodd) provides us a great opportunity to make water and ecological data more readily available and usable. Such data will help us address California’s water management challenges, and inform major initiatives, such as flood preparedness, drought mitigation, climate adaptation, and sustainable management of groundwater, among others. The journal offers a high-level summary of implementation strategy and accomplishments. Underlined text within the journal will lead you to additional useful information.
