Introduction

The Water Inventory Data Management (WIDM) system is an Oracle-based application developed by the Province of British Columbia to capture publicly funded, high frequency time series data from automated monitoring sites located throughout British Columbia. Currently, WIDM is the repository of provincial non-integrated hydrometric, automated snow pillow, manual snow surveys , observation wells and automated water quality data.

In addition to time series data, WIDM has the capacity to capture site and sample information including images, personnel, contacts, field notes, data source information, and discrete measurements, which are critical in the validation, grading and quality control of any obtained data.
