The Groundwater Information Network (GIN)<\/span><\/a>, shown in Figure\u00a0Box\u00a02-1, is a network of data providers cooperating to make Canada\u2019s groundwater information more interoperable online by using common protocols and standards (Figure\u00a0Box\u00a02-2). GIN was established in 2012 and currently includes well record data from eight provinces and one territory in Canada. As part of its interoperability mandate, GIN has collaborated on the development of an international data standard to facilitate the online exchange of well record data and other types of groundwater information (Brodaric et al., 2016, 2018).<\/p>\r\n
