4. Water Has a Human Impact WaterDOTS - Network of Humanitarian Projects
5. HydroDesign Leverage geospatial and temporal information to design sustainable homes, communities, industries and societies with respect to their dependence on water ~ David Maidment
6. Too much water Four water problems to be solved Not enough water Dirty water Environmental Issues
8. Geospatial Technology Is Improving Our World Data Information Knowledge Understanding Mapping Integration Sharing and Collaboration . . . How do we apply this to water?
9. Thousands 100’s of Thousands Millions Billions Application Users Water Resources Professionals Research Society Is Global Hydrologic Consciousness Possible? Linking People Everywhere with Water Data, Maps and Models World Water Online
10. World Water Online . . . a transformation of our world! •  Bring together water information for the whole earth •  All spatial scales: global, regional, local •  Both geospatial and temporal information •  Linking data and modeling •  Everything on the web
11. Scales of Application World Landscape River Basin, Aquifer My house, My well, My ranch Global Regional, State Local, Personal National Assessment Water and Climate Accounting How much water? Management Solving water problems Engineering How does this affect me?
