This Annex to this e-book indicates the wide range of data and analytics of relevance to HydroInformatics that are already accessible. These online services from a range of global and local data sources, have been collated together into a simple interactive platform.
There is also a need for knowledge resources (e.g. key articles, reports, videos, presentations, websites) on Water and HydroInformatics Resources. A prototype version based on a simple spreadsheet is indicated below:
This session will provide an overview of the emerging new world of HydroInformatics as well as introduce the new interactive resources created for this knowledge exchange. It will feature experts to give illustrations of modern in-situ and earth observation hydroinformatics data sources. It will also provide a preview of the next live session as part of this virtual event and introduce you to the course e-content for your active virtual participation.

Introduction to Knowledge Exchange |
Introduction to Virtual Knowledge Platform & Feb 28 Live Webinar Wrap-up |
Sheila Jagannathan & N. Harshadeep, The World Bank |
Please see the video recording of the first live webinar held on Feb 22, 2022 as part of the Open Learning Campus “Disrupting” HydroInformatics virtual knowledge exchange event.
This second and final “live” webinar session will provide an overview of how we can access this new world of hydroinformatics data through innovative cloud services and interactive dashboards. This will include a range of cutting-edge systems that can now be harnessed for exploring, analyzing, and visualizing hydroinformatics data to support planning and operational decisions. Real-world case studies will showcase how these systems are starting to take root at national and regional levels. The session will also introduce new elements in the course page to enable you to complete this virtual knowledge exchange successfully.
