Use Cases

There is no single correct way to operationalize equity in a data project. Each project has it’s own objectives, data, and audience - and truly operationalizing equity in your data work means dedicating the time, attention, and resources needed to meet the needs of the project (i.e. avoid one-size fits all approaches).

In this Use Cases section, you will find some examples of how some Water Boards staff have approached operationalizing equity into their data-intensive work, including use cases from:

• The Statewide Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP)
• <ADD OTHERS HERE!>

Help us highlight your data equity work!

If you are the lead of a data-intensive project that has worked to operationalize equity into some or all phases of your project’s data life cycle, and would like to add a page to this Handbook to highlight the work - let us know!

Please email equitydatahelp@waterboards.ca.gov with a short description of your project and what you’d like to highlight!
