Developing a New Unified Field Data Collection Application
Tuesday July 16, 2024 1:00pm - 2:20pm CDT
Do you use SVMAQ/SVMobileAQ, Superfly, QRev, RIVRS, or SedFF to collect surface water, groundwater, water quality, or meteorological data? Do you manage field crews that use these applications? Are you a Local Data Manager that configures these applications for field users? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, please come to this listening session with your likes, gripes, and ideas.

NWIS Time-Series and Discrete Data Workflows
Tuesday July 16, 2024 3:00pm - 3:20pm CDT
Come learn about the NWIS Time-Series and Discrete Data Workflows! This presentation on the NWIS Workflows Assessment and Improvement Project will show how the establishment of a "national consensus" workflow will help both the Water Science Centers and the NWIS Modernization program. Time-series workflows have recently been shared as standardized workflows capturing the "national consensus" workflow. Let's work together to find the "national consensus" workflow for discrete data. WSCs and YOU will benefit from Water Enterprise solutions that support more efficient, lean tools associated with "national consensus" workflows. NWIS Modernization will gain focus and energy behind key investments identified with the help from our WSCs and this project team.

How would connecting AQUARIUS Samples, LIMS, and the Field App help you?
Tuesday July 16, 2024 4:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
The triangle project was established to identify ways to improve the discrete water quality workflow by improving the connections between AQUARIUS Samples, the upcoming Laboratory Information Management System, and the Unified Field Application. We'd like to hear about your workflows and think about how a more interconnected system could lead to time saved, improved data quality, fewer headaches, or all of the above!

Upcoming Changes to Public Delivery of WaterWatch
Wednesday July 17, 2024 8:00am - 8:50am CDT
This presentation and listening session is oriented toward anyone who needs to understand upcoming changes to features currently being provided by the WaterWatch product (https://waterwatch.usgs.gov), from hydrotechs and program managers. WaterWatch is nearing the end of life and key features are being modernized through Water Data for the Nation (WDFN) including the National Water Dashboard and new statistical features expected in water services.

In this listening session, we will give a brief overview of some of the major changes in public delivery, which include changes to delivery method (website vs API vs Python package), integration of statistical visualizations into other WDFN features, and new ways of grouping map layers in National Water Dashboard. The remainder of the session will be an open discussion for attendees to ask questions, provide comments and share feedback on how these changes could impact your work and that of your cooperators and data users.

Give Feedback to Your Software Product Lead
Wednesday July 17, 2024 10:00am - 11:20am CDT
Do you use any of these software applications? DECAP, MLR, Go2, AQUARIUS Time-Series, NWIS Reporting Application, QRev, RIVRS, Superfly, SVMAQ, SIMS/RMS, SLAP, WADERS. If you answered "yes" to any of them, please come to this listening session to meet the "Product Owner" (PO). The PO's job is to hear your needs and prioritize work on the application accordingly (within the constraints of budgets, of course...). So, please come meet your PO and share your feedback, ideas and concerns.
