HydroShare

HydroShare is the web-based hydrologic information system operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI). Acting as a cloud-hosted repository, it allows researchers, educators, and water-resources professionals to upload, curate, publish, and permanently archive heterogeneous hydrologic data sets and computational models in many flexible formats. Each resource receives a persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), making it immediately citable, shareable, and discoverable through standard scholarly search engines. Beyond storage, HydroShare fosters collaboration: project members can organise resources into collections, set fine-grained privacy controls, and work together in real time within a browser-based workspace that eliminates file-exchange hassles. Integrated web applications—ranging from Python notebooks to map-centric visualisation and model-running tools—let users analyse or re-run data directly where it lives, providing a gateway to cloud computing. The platform is continually enhanced by CUAHSI’s development team under National Science Foundation awards ACI-1148453, ACI-1148090, EAR-1338606, OAC-1664018, OAC-1664061, and OAC-1664119.
