River Data - The Wharfe

Location: Online

Date: -

The release of storm overflow discharge (Event Duration Monitoring) data has driven a high level of public interest and public debate into the operation of storm overflows and on the health of the UK's rivers.

We'd like you to join us and collaborate with Yorkshire Water for a data hack which will start by looking at existing EDM data on the Wharfe and then look beyond that what further data could be released. The objective is to create a new open data standard for water companies and others to help drive improvements in our rivers.

This is a second event which will be a hybrid unconference. The session format will be as follows:
• Chaired by Paul Connell, Founder of ODI Leeds and Richard Emmott, Director of Corporate Affairs Yorkshire Water

• Introduction from Richard Emmott

• Split into break out sessions

• Contribute notes, useful articles, projects, data sources to one google document

• Wrap up
