3 What is ICOM? Instrumentation Committee Reformulated in 2004 Charter similar to before: –Assist and advise the Water Discipline Technical Offices (Surface Water, Ground Water, and Water Quality) in: Hydrologic instrumentation and policy issues Identifying and prioritizing hydrologic field instrumentation needs and issues of WRD offices and science programs regarding –Determine which instrumentation projects are funded and at what levels. –Determine instrumentation projects for funding and funding levels

4 Who serves on ICOM? 10 voting members, balancing technical discipline interests –District/Regional representatives (6) –Technical Office representatives (3) –Regional WRD Safety Manager Permanent Non-Voting Participants/Liaisons –HIF Chief –Executive Secretary –Water Survey of Canada liaison –National Research Program liaison Other Participants –From USGS outside WRD, other Federal agencies, universities, etc.

5 Who are your ICOM representatives? Voting members –District/Regional representatives NR: _vacant_ SR: Jack Carmichael, Stewart Tomlinson CR; James Fallon, Joe Sullivan WR: Michelle Sneed –Technical Office representatives (3) Doug Glysson (OWQ), Carole Johnson (OGW), Kevin Oberg (OSW) –Regional WRD Safety Manager Rom Kuzniar Permanent Non-Voting Participants/Liaisons –HIF Chief: Eugene Hayes –Executive Secretary: Tom Zembrzuski (retiring) –Water Survey of Canada liaison: Pat McCurry –National Research Program liaison: Harry Jenter Other Participants

6 Regional Technical Advisory Committees (RTAC) –CHIDER - Comm. For Hyd. Instr. & Data, Eastern Reg. –CRACD - Central Reg. Advisory Comm. on Data –WRTAC - Western Reg. Tech. Advisory Comm. Other Committees –HAWG – Hydroacoustics Work Group –ITAC – Instrumentation Technology Advisory Comm. Charter: “Links with these committees should be formalized to facilitate and promote information sharing” ICOM relies on input from other technical committees
