A Hydroinformatics poem for Anthony Arendt

Hydroinformatics is teal
the color of new ideas
innovation
creativity
and the chaos of change
spinning up complex
relationships between
data
models
human impacts
human scientists
and the institutions that govern
and don't govern
our water.

Hydroinformatics is water everywhere
in our hopes and dreams
in our code and publications
compressed into tar balls
heavy with responsibility
and light with hope
for the future.
