水数据交换(WADE)是西部各州水委员会(WSWC)成员国与西部州长协会(WGA)合作发起的一个项目，目的是帮助州水机构回答地方、地区和国家的水资源可用性问题。WADE通过简化水规划、使用和分配数据的发布，使规划者、政策制定者和公众能够访问，从而更轻松、更可持续、更具成本效益地提供所需信息。
本文介绍了WADE项目的背景，该项目的设想如何运作，它将提供的数据类型，以及为什么获取信息对水资源管理人员来说是重要的。WADE的目标包括建立治理结构、记录当前国家机构的能力和方法，以及设计针对水数据产品和/或水量信息的通用数据格式。已经开发了许多这样的基础产品，例如治理工作组、数据库、Web服务代码和用于集中访问的原型地图应用程序。一个仍在进行中的重要里程碑是在成员国的信息技术环境中分发和部署数据库和网络服务代码。最后，WADE试图鼓励使用网络服务和标准化数据格式发布其他机构的数据集。
The Water Data Exchange (WaDE) is a project initiated by the member states of the Western States Water Council (WSWC), in cooperation with the Western Governors’ Association (WGA), to assist state water agencies when answering local, regional, and national water availability questions. WaDE provides requested information more easily, sustainably, and cost-effectively, by streamlining the publication of water planning, use, and allocation data for access by planners, policy makers, and the public.
This paper presents the background of the WaDE project, how it was envisioned to function, the types of data it will provide, and why access to the information is important for water managers. The goals of WaDE include the establishment of a governance structure, documentation of the current state agency capabilities and methodologies, and the design of a common data format that targets water data products and/or water-quantity information. Many of these foundational products have been developed, such as governance workgroups, databases, web services code, and a prototype mapping application for centralized access. A major milestone, still underway, is the distribution and deployment of the databases and web services code within member states’ information technology environments. Lastly, WaDE seeks to encourage the publication of other agency datasets using web services and standardized data formats.
