Minnesota River Basin Data Center

Minnesota River Basin Data Center

(mrbdc)

The data center was established in 1997 funded in part by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources grant. The data center functions to simplify the task of identifying and acquiring information and data necessary to facilitate natural resource decision making and education within the 37 counties of the Minnesota River Basin. The data center operates as a clearinghouse to make data easily and readily accessible and provides a service to link users with the best sources of information and data available. A Board of Directors that represents a broad cross section of basin residents guides the data center.
