FlowWest secured two EPA Exchange Network Grants in 2021 and 2022 to develop a comprehensive data management plan, create a centralized database and geospatial data warehouse, and establish a process for uploading water quality data to the EPA's Exchange Network Portal.
With enhanced data management capabilities, the Upper Mattaponi Tribe has an increased data toolkit to make informed decisions and effectively manage its watershed.
