New data dashboards enhance access to foundational California stream data sets

SCCWRP has developed a pair of data dashboards to streamline access to foundational California stream bioassessment and hydrologic data sets – an effort intended to help standardize how the data get used in stream management decisions.

The Reference Condition Monitoring Program dashboard provides key information about more than 5,000 stream sites across California that are considered minimally disturbed reference sites, including classifications based on the site’s flow duration (e.g., perennial vs. intermittent).

The Channel Engineering Review dashboard provides key information about bioassessment scores in engineered channels and the extent of channel hardening at these sites.

Both dashboards went live in January. Over the long term, SCCWRP envisions integrating both dashboards into a single dashboard resource for tracking reference condition, flow duration, and channel engineering status.
