Charlie,
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.

Hi,
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...
It is an interesting idea -- roads are relatively stable. Streams have
additional attributes, like water levels.
Any reactions or ideas on how this might be started?
Cheers
Charlie Schweik
