Water Watch Integration

Monitoring water quality helps keep streams safe. But data alone won’t drive action if the right people can’t see or understand it.
Downstream has the tools to turn data into stories.

 

Water Watch  is a citizen engagement program designed by the Downstream Project to connect watershed groups with members, activate volunteers, quantify stream restoration outcomes, and alert the public about stream contamination. The foundation of the Water Watch platform is built around two cloud-based applications developed by Chesapeake Commons.

The Downstream team customizes each Water Watch integration depending on an individual partner’s needs, combining member/donor outreach and management tools that support the core capabilities of  Water Reporter and Field Doc :

Water Reporter  is a social network that shares images, observations, and monitoring data to fuel social media campaigns for improving water quality.  Learn more abo ut Water Reporter here

Field Doc  measures stream restoration impacts of management practices at the project and parcel level.  Learn more abo ut Field Doc here
