4 Technical Barriers Innocent Desirer of data Financial Barriers Will Power

5 Generate Information not Data Use Data Only Once $$$ Cost $$$ Real Duplication Reinvention -scale vs resources Appropriate $ / task

6 Savings Larger Data Sharing Network Than could Ever Build alone Redirect Savings into P & R Elevate Dialogue to Action / Solutions

7 Watershed Plans Source Water Protection Protection / Restoration Projects NPS Projects Consultant Work Water Supply Planning DW and WW Treatment Stewardship Cost Savings……Not Free but Cheap...

8 Provide a collaborative forum for implementation of effective collection, analyses, formatting and sharing of water quality data Mission

9 Inclusion Participation Innovation Transparency Relevancy Trust Values/Principles Leverage Existing Resource Collaboration Integration Everyone has something to contribute
