Checking Water Quality Using Google Maps Mashups

Recently, I ran across a very interesting map mashup (via Google Maps Mania) called Water Atlas, which is from from the Hillsborough County and City of Tampa allows citizens to check water quality, hydrology, rainfall and weather data from the county's water stations.

This is the type of thing I would like to see worked out for South Carolina Water Quality.

Depending on the type of water station selected you can view, daily rainfall, precipitation, water flow, elevation, temperature, velocity and conductance. Each information window also includes a link to view graphs of the stations recorded data for the last 24 hours, week and month.

It might make one reflect on the Water Trifecta, mentioned before on this blog.
