Abstract

The SMC provides direction and ensures effective and efficient operation of GWFO. This committee includes representatives from the major partner institutions. The SMC oversees financial and operational aspects of the program and provides strategic direction to ensure the facility is meeting the needs of partners and users.

The GWFO User Advisory Panel is comprised of representatives from local communities and Indigenous Nations, government, water management, industry, conservation authorities, municipalities, and other practitioner and data user groups. The UAP provides insights into the user science and decision support needs underpinned by the GWFO data, provides recommendations and avenues for translating GWFO’s data to support the real-world impacts, and supports scientific exchange with private and public sectors. In addition, the panel provides strategic advice and is a catalyst in identifying new opportunities for enhancing the user-base for the GWFO data and services.

The GWFO Oversight Committee currently is comprised of the Vice Presidents Research from the University of Saskatchewan, University of Waterloo, McMaster University, and Wilfrid Laurier University, as well as the GWFO Director.  The role of this committee is to oversee the management of GWFO and to ensure that the MSI-CFI grant achieves the goals proposed in its institutional application, in accordance with the USask and federal policies and procedures.
