2
Goals Consolidate and integrate existing data on pesticides Make pesticide information available and accessible to all Provide a resource for scientists, advocates, regulators, IPM managers and the public
3
www.pesticideinfo.org

WaterPIC Objectives Harmonize datasets under one roof Accelerate analysis of pesticide impacts on the environment, including use trends Facilitate a greater understanding of relationships between pesticide use and environmental impacts in water Create an easy to use and easy to understand tool for regulators, scientists, watershed groups, and the general public

WaterPIC Datasets DPR Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data Water quality monitoring data –USGS –DPR –CA Water Boards: SWAMP (next iteration) Geospatial information –RWQCB TMDL watershed delineations –CalWater 2.2.1 watershed delineations –USGS HUC watersheds delineations –303d TMDL List of impaired waterways and rivers, lakes, streams (next iteration) Aquatic toxicity –EPA AQUIRE data Water quality criteria –U.S. EPA, CA, Canada, other countries
16
WaterPIC Potential Uses Facilitates development of water quality monitoring programs Provides a first approximation correlation between pesticide use and water pollution Provides temporal trend analysis Facilitates TMDL development Helps growers evaluate BMPs (Ag Waiver) Highlights data gaps
