This presentation is a product of the 2012 CDI Project: USGS Citizen Science Workshop. See the "Resources" section below for a downloadable pdf file of the original PowerPoint presentation. It was presented on Sept. 5, 2012 at a CDI-sponsored webinar. The USGS CDI supported the development of the Citizen Science Working Group in August 2011 and funded the Working Group’s proposal to hold a USGS Citizen Science Workshop in fiscal year 2012. The goals or the USGS Citizen Science Workshop were: To raise awareness of research within the USGS that incorporates citizen science To create a Community of Practice from which knowledge and expertise can be shared To provide a forum to discuss the challenges of and opportunities...

For the purposes of the Human Factors of Water Availability project the agricultural sector includes the USGS Water Use Program categories of Irrigation, Livestock, and Aquaculture. Data useful for better understanding water demand in the agricultural sector is provided here including Irrigation districts and irrigated land in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Irrigation price of water data is provided for Mesa County, a key agricultural county in the state of Colorado within the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), as an example of data that impacts demand and supply of water in the agricultural sector. Crop land cover data was retrieved from the CropScape online data application, the R script used to process data...

Human factors that influence water availability in the Basin were discovered by reviewing hundreds of published literature items and articles from the literature following an extensive keyword search. The different factors were drawn from reviewing the literature, and datasets to support the factor were researched across open data catalogs and the world wide web. Data related to the Human Factors project water availability sectors of agriculture, industrial, municipal, and those related to ecosystem services, tourism, or other uses can be found here.

These datasets provide information about the study area such as climate and geography, as well as interbasin transfers, and estimates of water use trends in the Colorado River Basin 1985–2010 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2018/5049/sir20185049.pdf).
