The Water Environmental Hub began in 2010 with $1.8 million of seed funding over two years from Western Economic Diversification Canada, University of Lethbridge, and Cybera Inc..
The project is currently managed by Explorus Data Solutions Inc. (not-for-profit), Cybera Inc., Tesera Systems Inc., and University of Lethbridge. It is also supported by various water and environmental data organizations including the Alberta Terrestrial Imaging Center, Alberta Innovates Technology Futures - Energy and Environmental Solutions, and SEAWA - South East Alberta Watershed Alliance. The project is currently being funded by Natural Resources Canada - GeoConnections and the Canadian School of Energy and Environment.
