Goals

• Consolidate and integrate existing data on pesticides

• Make pesticide information available and accessible to all

• Provide a resource for scientists, advocates, regulators, IPM managers and the public

www.pesticideinfo.org

WaterPIC Objectives

• Harmonize datasets under one roof

• Accelerate analysis of pesticide impacts on the environment, including use trends

• Facilitate a greater understanding of relationships between pesticide use and environmental impacts in water

• Create an easy to use and easy to understand tool for regulators, scientists, watershed groups, and the general public

WaterPIC Datasets

• DPR Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data• Water quality monitoring data

– USGS– DPR– CA Water Boards: SWAMP (next iteration)

• Geospatial information– RWQCB TMDL watershed delineations– CalWater 2.2.1 watershed delineations– USGS HUC watersheds delineations– 303d TMDL List of impaired waterways and rivers, lakes, streams (next

iteration)

• Aquatic toxicity – EPA AQUIRE data

• Water quality criteria – U.S. EPA, CA, Canada, other countries

WaterPIC Potential Uses

• Facilitates development of water quality monitoring programs

• Provides a first approximation correlation between pesticide use and water pollution

• Provides temporal trend analysis• Facilitates TMDL development• Helps growers evaluate BMPs (Ag Waiver)• Highlights data gaps
