California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN)

CEDEN is a system designed to facilitate integration and sharing of data collected by many different participants. It is a growing statewide cooperative effort of various groups involved in the water and environmental resources of the State of California. This network is open to federal, state, county and private organizations interested in sharing data throughout the state. The purpose of the CEDEN network is to allow the exchange and integration of water and environmental data between groups and to make it accessible to the public.

Our Goals

• To incorporate the many diverse data sources, such as stormwater, agricultural waiver, and surface water ambient monitoring, available through the California Environmental Data Exchange Network's (CEDEN) Regional Data Centers (RDC) into a standardized integrated data sharing network.
• To provide access to data in the network both in the form of downloadable monitoring data and to support question-driven information themes through the California Water Quality Monitoring Council's My Water Quality web portals.
