The Saskatchewan government this week announced the launch of what it calls a GeoHub portal for access to data for better water management. skpoli
Proponents of the platform said that with the right digital infrastructure or third-party service operators that can provide those monitoring resources, agricultural producers could benefit from the data being made available.
Pomeroy noted the data can help to quantify moisture levels in soil, quantify the drought, and generate predictive models, such as the type of work he and his team have been doing at the Global Water Future Observatories. “Why we put our data out there is that it’s an open portal, open data, open government,” said Water Security Agency spokesman Patrick Boyle.
The portal would allow access to information that could help protect water quality, reduce floods and damage from droughts, and manage water supply channels such as those across the province’s 72 dams, according to the WSA.
