The water monitoring network in Northern California provides us with an integrated flow and water-quality
dataset of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the reservoirs, and the two main rivers feeding the Delta, namely
the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers. Understanding the dynamics and complex interactions among the
components of this large water supply system and how they affect the water quality, and ecological conditions for
fish and wildlife requires the assimilation of large amounts of data. A multivariate, time series data visualization
tool which encompasses various components of the system, in a geographical context, is the most appropriate
solution to this challenge. We have developed an abstract representation of the water system, which uses
various information visualization techniques, like focus+context techniques, graph representation, 3D glyphs,
and colormapping, to visualize time series data of multiple parameters.
