The platform CDSN is housed within is the Ambient Water Quality Monitoring System (AWQMS…pronounced Ah-Kwms). AWQMS was designed and built by Gold Systems, developer of EPA’s WQX, EPA’s WQX Web data submission utility, and EPA’s ATTAINS Exchange Network data flow. So, you know your data is in good hands.

 Use Colorado Data Sharing Network (CDSN) to submit your data.

• CDSN is currently helping over 70 different data organizations manage, share, and analyze more than 4.1 million water quality results at over 12,000 monitoring locations throughout Colorado.

• Sharing data saves time and resources for others who are monitoring in the same basin. Sharing hosting, research and development costs for innovative data management and analysis leverages more resources for monitoring and other priorities. 

• CDSN has saved its data providers over $1 million through shared hosting of the data management system vs. what it would cost for them to pay for hosting and support individually.
