This panel will address: What is the network and how the data can be used such as “ground-truthing” the findings of “GRACE – Gravity Sensing of Groundwater volume changes”, supporting implementation of the SECURE Water Act initiatives, and providing data needed for water planning initiatives. State pilot projects – what was learned. What has changed in the revised framework document. Data management--implementing the sharing of the data through the interface and how to download data from the network. What's next--planning for the next phase of implementation including addition of USGS data, recruiting new participants, and the potential for funding.
