WIN, the Watershed Information Network, provides a modernized centralized environmental data management platform (excluding regulatory databases) as a successor to Florida STORET (STOrage and RETrieval).
WIN provides front-end quality assurance, data input, storage, and reporting of surface water (and including sediment and fish tissue) and ground water data. WIN provides a platform for data providers to submit their data and perform data quality checking interactively prior to allowing the data to be migrated into the published WIN environment. WIN is used to store and manage data, and to report data to interested users and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Information on WIN (e.g., standards, frequently asked questions, example data templates) is available. WIN Coordinators are available to assist you in registering your organization and using WIN.
Through both the WIN and Florida STORET databases, the WIN section in the DEP Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration (DEAR) Watershed Services Program implements Florida statutory requirements, DEP rule requirements and U.S. EPA funding requirements for management of environmental (non-regulatory) data for the state. Through these databases, your data support a wide range of DEP, DEAR and public uses, including but not limited to providing data for use in:
Your data contributions help DEP better assess the quality of waters for basins in your area. The data you and other organizations provide to WIN and Florida STORET are available for browsing and downloading through WIN reports or SPA. Your data is needed and appreciated.
