[OSGeo-Discuss] Hudson River Opportunity?

[Fawcett, David]

There was an article in the NY Times last week about the Beacon River
Institute and IBM working to create a large array of real-time sensors
to monitor the Hudson River.  They talk about using the real-time data
to steer operational decisions and making the data available on the Web
as it is collected.

It sounds like RPI and other educational institutes are involved.  

It would be cool to see some OpenSource Geospatial software/technology
used.  When I saw the article, I immediately thought that it might be a
great case to use/push/hone OGC sensor services.
