Surface Water Data Portal & Dashboard

We worked with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) to design and build a modern system for data sharing and visualization. The goals of the project was to: 

• Make real time and historic sensor data easily accessible to agency staff, partner agencies, researchers, and the interested public.
• Eliminate manual processes for responding to requests and provide an online tool for downloading data for one or multiple sensors.
• Build a map-based interface for sensors, charts, and data sharing, including real-time, interactive data.
• Implement an automated process that extracts data from multiple data collection systems to a central database that can support the web interfaces

We believe in a collaborative and engaging project management approach and worked closely with MPWMD staff throughout the data workflow, interface design, and development processes.

Our sustainable solution meets the following key outcomes:

• Informs and engages the public through a simple interactive map and consolidated water data platform.
• Is future-proof and highly scalable.
• Brings current and historic surface water data to life through maps and graphics.
• Increases public participation through an improved user experience.
• Includes a dashboard for quick real-time overview of multiple surface water sensors.
