Water Quality in the Watershed

Citizen scientists working with the WPWA and the URI Water Watch program collect critical data on the water quality of the rivers, streams, and lakes in the watershed. The resulting datasets are large and complex. A URI Computer Science student Elise Torello (and 2008 WPWA Volunteer of the Year!) has been working to make the water quality data easily accessible and understandable to everyone over the Internet. Elise needs your help on this project. She has put two interfaces to the monitoring data on a web site and needs to know which one users find best. If you are interested in water quality in the watershed and can help Elise by giving her feedback (via an on-line survey), please visit her web site at: www.edc.uri.edu/personal/elise/mapdataviewer
