| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Under the Clean Water Act and Source Water Protection Program the Ontario Government has spent 240 million dollars protecting potable water sources. This work
focused on the protection of municipal water supplies. There are, however, important groundwater issues that remain to be addressed; for example, groundwater flux to the Great Lakes and related groundwater quality, cumulative impacts on sustainable
groundwater supply, and implications of climate change on water levels. These issues require a regional, Southern Ontario approach involving a multi-disciplinary partnership across government, academic, and the private sector. A key ingredient is a
framework for groundwater-related data that can be leveraged by all partners and that encompasses capture, storage, analysis, and dissemination of the data. The framework must respect agency autonomy and mandates, for example related to data quality
and regulation, while providing open access to the data to enable scientific collaboration.
Such a data framework has several components: infrastructure for (re)hosting the data and enabling connection between existing repositories for
distributed access, standards for structuring and retrieving the data, protocols for using the data appropriately, agreements about data content, and tools for innovative investigation and presentation of the data to augment decision-making. The
first step in such development is web accessibility to many government datasets, as facilitated by new Open Government Data Access policies, followed by advanced tools to operate on the liberated data.
Aspects of the above components are
inherent in several existing systems, for example: the low water response initiative of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition, and the Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Library dataset. A number of
case studies will be presented based on existing systems that highlight the value of an Ontario groundwater data management framework. |
