Data Sharing and Visualization
Water Quality Exchange
Tool
The Water Quality Exchange (WQX) is a one-stop shop for water quality data from EPA, USGS, state and local agencies, academia, nonprofits, and any other groups that have developed a quality assurance project plan (QAPP) for their monitoring program. Every two years, NJDEP pulls all data collected in NJ under an approved QAPP to be included in assessments for the Integrated Report. Learn more about EPA’s WQX data upload tool.
Sharing Citizen Science Data
Webinar
It is important to get your data off the shelf and into the hands of people who can use it. The following video by the Water Data Collaborative reviews case studies of data sharing using website report cards, online mapping, ArcGIS Story Maps, open-source R software, and smart phone apps.
