Release Notes

The Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE) is a system for viewing, accessing, and downloading Reclamation's data via a centralized data portal.

With RISE you can:

  • Access a range of data types (geospatial, time series, and other) from multiple data domains (e.g. water, hydropower, biological, water quality, and infrastructure/assets).
  • Locate data via the map.
  • Search the catalog for data.
  • Query and download observed and modeled data.
  • Plot and map data.
  • Get machine readable time series datasets to use as input for your models, applications and analyses via manual downloads or automated data exchange via web service.

RISE helps fulfill Reclamation’s responsibilities under the OPEN Government Data Act to make data assets available in open and machine-readable formats. RISE is the replacement for the Reclamation Water Information System (RWIS), which was retired in 2020.

The SEO improvement standardized and optimized page-specific title elements, meta descriptions and keywords to support clearer indexing and improved search result presentation. One metadata change added additional elements to the ISO metadata files generated by RISE. One metadata change fixed issues with URL encoding in the RISE DCAT JSON output, which is harvested to the Department’s Data Inventory and subsequently harvested by Data.gov. Three other metadata changes fixed issues and made improvements to embedded JSON-LD metadata on the RISE Catalog Record, Catalog Item, and Location Details pages. Changes to the RISE Data Admin UI included fixing bugs with copying text into description fields and displaying the user’s role on the My RISE Datasets page, and increasing the automatic session timeout from 15 minutes to 24 hours of inactivity. See Release Notes for more details.
