PROJECT SUMMARY
Overview: This project will facilitate research on efficient management of agricultural practices and their impact on water resources in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) through a cyberinfrastructure framework. Large-scale data acquisition and dissemination, integration, analysis, and visualization using data-enabled information technologies will accelerate diffusion of knowledge, experience, and shared resources (e.g., technology, equipment, people) among communities and partners. The key element of the project is a new cyber platform, the Upper Mississippi Information System (UMIS), which will provide water quality data within a rich spatio-temporal hydrologic context. The project will build on the expertise of IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering (IIHR) at the University of Iowa and the Great Lakes to Gulf Virtual Observatory (GLTG) at the University of Illinois and will include many partner organizations from the neighboring states. The Midwest Big Data Hub will help to amplify the impact of the platform through its tools and services.
