 Abstract: Data collection and management constitutes the foundation for all analysis and modeling tasks required for achieving water, food, energy, and environmental security. UN-Water identifies data and information as one of the five accelerators where efforts and investments should be concentrated to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6). Availability of open and free data resources can greatly contribute to enhanced implementation capacity in water research. In this context, it is crucial that data are freely accessible, openly available, and reliable. Open datasets are available online, are accessible in machine-readable formats (i.e. not pdfs or reports), and are obtainable by the public. Free refers to the availability of datasets with licenses that allow sharing at no cost to individuals, researchers, institutions, or projects. However, such datasets are dispersed across various websites and repositories. This hampers visibility and findability, which in turn results in limited use for generation of new knowledge or transferability of insights. This highlights a critical need for improving visibility of existing hydrological datasets, dedicated projects, and repositories. Crowdsourced scientific data collection efforts enable collaborative work and provide potential solutions to these issues. In this talk, we present a crowdsourced hydrology initiative aimed at establishing a global catalog of open and free datasets. This inventory will provide a database of static links, data DOIs, description of datasets along with key references and supporting information. We report on our progress and challenges in designing such an initiative with the hope that others will benefit.
