Abstract
Water resources, which are a common good, are often negatively impacted through changing patterns of land use, land development, resource extraction and climate. Their sustainability through use and management are often shared responsibilities that involve multiple sectors, including federal and provincial governments and their agencies, municipalities and conservation authorities, and private organizations. In this paper we describe ongoing work on the development of a collaborative multi-sectoral cloud-based platform to support the data sharing, integration and processing requirements for watershed analysis and management. This web-based and mobile cloud-based platform is designed to be a system that integrates science and watershed management.
