EDAS2 Usage in the World

It's been some time since I've written and I wanted to post some notes about where things are with EDAS2.

There are a number of organizations (state agencies) around the country that are currently evaluating EDAS2 for production use. Please contact us if you are interested in coordinating with these agencies as we encourage everyone to pool their resources to save time and $$. EPA Region 7 is also evaluating using EDAS2 for data management and reporting. They have provided valuable feedback on their experience and find EDAS2 to be a very useful platform. They have noted some room for improvement and ways to make EDAS2 better. So we hope to be able incorporate these suggestions in a future release.

Also note that the state of New Mexico has adopted EDAS2 for internal water quality and biological data management. New Mexico is actively developing against EDAS2 and has agreed to share their improvements back to the project. Their improvements to date include enabling support for multiple users through the use of Seam Security (and the upgrade to Seam 2.1). They are currently implementing a number of other general and agency-specific improvements, and hopefully we will be able to post details about them here soon.

Also, please note that we have updated our Contributions section with a brief explanation of the process for submitting changes to the core EDAS2 project.
