                        <h2>Opportunities </h2>
                        <p>The California Data Collaborative has created a standard protocol for water rate information called the Open Water Rate Specification (OWRS) and is in the process of converting inconsistent rate structures into the format. The
                            creation of a comprehensive protocol for water rates is the first step in its adoption across water districts much like the story of <a href="http://beyondtransparency.org/chapters/part-2/pioneering-open-data-standards-the-gtfs-story/">Google Transit Feed Specification</a>.
                            CaDC is also in the process of building a tool to explore differences in water rates across agencies in California, using the data converted to OWRS. Such a tool would enable one to understand the differences in cost across
                            the state and the implication on policy for the same.</p>
                        <p>Tools can also be built to increase adoption of the data sharing protocols across agencies by allowing them to migrate from existing formats of water data to the adopted standards. Australia's Bureau of Management has built

                            href="http://www.bom.gov.au/water/standards/wdtf/excelwdtf.shtml">a tool</a> that converts excel and csv files to their standard Water Data Transfer Format possibly making adoption of the newer protocols easier.</p>
