HydroServer is a software cyberinfrastructure platform created to support collection, management, and sharing of time series of observations from hydrologic and environmental monitoring sites. Under development at the Utah Water Research Laboratory at Utah State University, HydroServer is designed to be an open source platform that enables research groups, agencies, organizations, and practitioners to more easily collect and manage streaming observations from environmental sensors.
