There are existing global databases of surface water boundaries,
water quality, DEMs, etc. In some cases more than one. Those could
be one starting point - license permitting. The other would of
course be OSM itself, which already contains surface water features.
Adding a possibility for all to add data like temperature, water
level, water quality etc. would be interesting. I've seen such
attempts, as far as I remember they have used Google maps or Bing
maps. In fact, Microsoft may have been more active in this
particular area.<br>

I find myself wondering if there is a possibility of starting an
"open stream map" project in a similar way to open street map?
With the idea that this might be connected to an invasive plant
species effort too...
<br>
<br>
It is an interesting idea -- roads are relatively stable. Streams
have additional attributes, like water levels.
<br>
<br>
Any reactions or ideas on how this might be started?
