Water is a Grand Challenge
All Projects Need Water Information
Background
The Key is to Have Good Information
Background
Barriers to Water Sharing
Lack of standards
The cost of hardware and software
Lack of personnel trained to manage information systems
Culture of not sharing water information
Dominican Republic Experience
Water Data Sharing
What is being done about it?
AmeriGEOSS
Regional Cooperation that reflects local, national, and regional interests of the GEO country-members for short and long-term planning, development, and Implementation of GEO activities.
This cooperation will be entrenched in the technical capabilities of its country members and in the resources of other global initiatives available for the benefit of the region.
AmeriGEOSS seeks to increase institutional and personal capacity through the acquisition and sharing of technology and training, and engage experts, stakeholders, and decision makers in the process of decision making through cooperation.

Priority Areas of AmeriGEOSS
1. Agriculture, associated with climate variability, climate change, and food security
2. Disaster risk reduction, particularly for data exchange associated with early warnings, and for the generation of regional products of early warnings
3. Water, associated with the management approach of water resources and data management
4. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Monitoring, in the context of capacity building for better monitoring, management, and maintenance of ecosystems and biodiversity they support; and to predict future changes
