Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA)
• 3,400 square km
• 515,000 residents
• Mix of rural and urban land uses
• Thames River goes to Lake St. Clair, which flows into Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River

History
• Pre 2010 – UTRCA custom software solutions
• WISKI 7 - 2010 – present
• WISKI hub, started organizing 2016
• Formal participation by other members in 2017
![Page 5: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Western Ontario WISKI Hub
• 10 openings possible (as per Eastern Ontario Hub, out of Quinte Region CA)
• Currently 9 CA members– 7 in the South– 2 in the North
![Page 6: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WISKI Hub Model
• Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared– i.e. SODA, kiWIS, Alarm Manager
• Hardware costs and hardware reserve funds shared
• Also looking at subscription models for small CAs
![Page 7: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WISKI Hub Advantages
• Shared costs• Shared knowledge• Shared standards
– e.g. WQ report card standards only need to be built once
• Shared scripts, kiWIS applications, data input methods
• Shared training sessions and costs
![Page 8: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WISKI Overview
• Relational database that incorporates:– Data acquisition and storage– Data validation and editing– Analysis and reporting – Controlled data sharing
• Used for continuous time series and discreet sampling data (hydrometric, water quality, biological)
![Page 9: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WISKI OverviewData type Current use Imported via
Hydrometric
Surface water, climate, snow course and ground water monitoring stations
SODA• data acquisition
program• connects remotely
to stations through phone lines (and cell)
kiDAT• Collects data
from web sites, ftp sites and hot folders, and/or
• Converts data files to ZRXP files for import
Sampling
(water quality &
biology)
Water quality monitoring, land use surveys and aquatic wildlife inventory/ monitoring
WISKI Importer• customized import
configurations built to match file formats (e.g. lab reports)
kiDSM• Automated data
transfer jobs (hot folders)
• .bat and .txt files link to import configurations

Time Series Agents
• What are they?– Algorithms that operate
on time series data
– Import new data into a time series
and/or– Derive a new time series
from a set source time series
![Page 11: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Agent Progression
“Import time series data” agent
“Copy time series” agent
Other: e.g. “Total, simple”
![Page 12: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Western Ontario Environmental Data (WOED) Webpage
• Interactive webpage for accessing hydrometric data that is stored within WISKI
• kiWIS pulls data using customized URLs
http://10.1.1.49:8090/KiWIS/KiWIS?service=kisters&type=queryServices&request=getStationList&datasource=0&format=html&returnfields=station_name,object_type,station_no,station_longname,site_name,station_id,station_latitude,station_longitude,custom_attributes&custattr_returnfields=GENERAL.WOED&site_name=UTRCA

WOED Webpage• WISKI groups allow kiWIS to refine data pulls
and maintain flexibility in the webpage (e.g. include new stations, new CAs, etc.)
![Page 15: Innovations in the Western Ontario WISKI Hub · WISKI Hub Model • Each member purchases and maintains own WISKI license, but server based license costs are shared – i.e. SODA,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/61224cf5dbe7dd2371318e83/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WOED Webpage• Along with kiWIS, HiCharts and customized
scripts display the station and time series data in interactive maps, graphs, charts and tables.
