Hey what's the latest on this?

Part of our team at the CaliforniaDataCollaborative.com have been working on a feasibility study for the water data integration proposed by AB 1775 and right in line with this New California Water Atlas. So would love to collab and make it part of this if possible:

Inventory of datasets to be integrated per AB 1775 (3/16/2016)
Developed by the California Data Collaborative

(b) The water information accounting system shall, at a minimum, do all of the following:
(1) Integrate existing water data information from multiple autonomous databases managed by federal, state, and local agencies and academia using consistent and standardized formats.
(2) Integrate, at a minimum, the following datasets:
(A) The [Department of Water Resources’] information on
State Water Project reservoir operations
http://www.water.ca.gov/swp/operationscontrol/monthly.cfm
Format: Monthly PDF file
groundwater use
TBD
groundwater levels through California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM)
http://www.water.ca.gov/groundwater/casgem/online_system.cfm
Online portal with more detailed data than the water data library. Shows charts of groundwater elevation over time.
Format: downloadable CSV by County, Basin,Monitoring Entity, or well type

http://www.water.ca.gov/waterdatalibrary/groundwater/index_new.cfm
Data showing water level in individual wells. Seems to be a subset of data available in CASGEM portal
Format: direct CSV download by county or groundwater basin
Update March 31 - Link to comprehensive data dump
urban water use
Public Water System Statistics?
Urban Water Management Plans?
California Data Collaborative permissioned access?
Note Metropolitan’s system is on AMI and has publicly accessible web reports: https://wins.mwdsc.org/Reports/WAMIReports.aspx
land use.
County planning information?
County Assessor parcel information?
(B) The state board’s data on
water rights,

Format: Webform allows selection of criteria. Page only displays 50 results at a time out of many thousands
water diversions
Also eWRIMS?
water quality through California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN).
http://ceden.waterboards.ca.gov/AdvancedQueryTool
Format: Pipe delimited text file available as a bulk download

(C) The Department of Fish and Wildlife’s information on
fish abundance and distribution.
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/biogeodata/bios/dataset_index.asp
Couple hundred GIS datasets with 764 references to “fish” in dataset titles
(D) The United States Geological Survey’s stream flow streamflow conditions information usgs through the National Water Information System.
stream flow streamflow
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/sw
Format: webform with many, many options
(E) The United States Bureau of Reclamation’s
federal Central Valley Project operations information.
http://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvo/
Format: PDF
(F) The United States Fish and Wildlife’s, Wildlife Service’s, United States Forest Service’s, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries’ fish abundance information.
(3) Incorporate clear and careful documentation of data quality and data formats through metadata.
(4) Adhere to data protocols developed by state agencies pursuant to Section 12420.
(5) Be able to receive both spatial and time series data from various sources.
(6) Enable custom dashboards, visualizations, graphing, and analysis.
