Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE)

The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Branch (CGB-157) recently built a new database to improve data integrity and facilitate data upload to Reclamation Information Sharing Environment (RISE). This project built on that effort; CGB-157’s historical data was standardized, supplemented, and migrated to the new database for improved data accessibility and usefulness. A project process was developed that preserved data quality and efficiently used staff time. This process relied on automation through computer scripts and consistent documentation to form a reproducible workflow and support the traceability and reliability of final data products. Final data products were validated through a comprehensive review process to demonstrate that migrated data accurately represented the original documentation.
