B.C. is again under flood watch as a prolonged atmospheric river hits the province. Here are some common questions about flooding, answered

Why Do We Track the Health of Fresh Water, and What Do We Do with the Data? - Article - DataStreamWhy Do We Track the Health of Fresh Water, and What Do We Do with the Data? - Article - DataStream But our relationship with these ecosystems is also somewhat fraught. While we cherish our lakes and rivers for recreation and sustenance, we are simultaneously polluting them at an alarming rate.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I get that question 50 times a day. 🐾 My dear Crowley, #EnglishSetter #LakeErieLove (Follow @datastream.org for more lakes and doggos)

With all the rain forecast for Toronto & other Lake Ontario cities, beware of flooding in rivers & creeks. Also sadly, sewer overflows. Always a huge problem in spring — not good for fish habitat or human recreation. Nor for our drinking water. @swimdrinkfish @LOWaterkeeper

Thanks for this shoutout, Entremission! Open data is a team sport, so we are grateful for the many partners and contributors that make our combined efforts come together (and the creative ways to make that data come to life, like your team is doing too) #OpenDataDay

#OpenDataDay is an annual celebration of open data all over the world, and DataStream is thrilled to participate!

Did you know that DataStream is the leading open access platform for water data in Canada? Check out DataStream and feel free to reach out to us: datastream.org/en-ca/

Sounds like a great event, Michael! "Open science and open data have become a shared value among many researchers, and events such as this can be a great amplifier for the impact of aquatic data science and open science research."

These are the best. 💙
