acquiring Pakistani Water Authority datasets

[aaarendt]

• Pakistani Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has data available to order at a cost.

• Bruce / NSIDC have some of these data acquired through CHARIS.

• Locations and metadata are posted on our shared web service but the data are not yet available for download.

• [x] @bruceraup: will talk finance at NSIDC to ask about the purchasing process

• [x] Anthony: look into costs and how this can be covered by HiMAT

• [x] Lee: talk to ICIMOD while at meeting in Spain, see if we can do this in a coordinated way

Someone should look at the conditions of use before purchase. I have seen some fine print in data sets from a developed country that really did not allow you to use the data in any way because the wording was so restrictive.
