Hi all,
Thanks for all the comments on the "Open Stream Map" idea. The driving
force behind my question was that I just came back from a workshop on
citizen science and had seen a variety of successful efforts... for
example the ebird project at Cornell University. Given the issues
surrounding water in the future, I found myself wondering about the
use of an open street map model but for water inventory.
That's about as far as I am on this -- it was just an idea I thought
might be worthwhile floating to the OSGeo group. Not sure where it
goes from here... if anyone wants to move it along further -- go for it!
Thanks for the responses...

Dear Charlie,
The idea is interesting, but I concur with Robert that -in order to provide
some more educated feedback, it would be also interesting to know a little
more about your initial "driver".
I have worked in the past in surface hydrology and water resources
management, and more recently I have been heavily involved in awareness
raising on "thematic crowdsourcing", so I could think of a couple of ways to
start this...
However, I think it would be important to understand a little more the
invasive "plant species effort" part of your idea in order to elaborate on
your request.
Thanks!

Hi,
I find myself wondering if there is a possibility of starting an "open
stream map" project in a similar way to open street map? With the idea that
this might be connected to an invasive plant species effort too...
It is an interesting idea -- roads are relatively stable. Streams have
additional attributes, like water levels.
Any reactions or ideas on how this might be started?
Cheers
Charlie Schweik
