One great feature of this site is the ability to share your resources and
knowledge with others who have an interest in water monitoring. You can share
your data, interesting articles you've found, data collection tips and techniques,
and even lesson plans and classroom activities.
Sharing is very easy. As a registered member you have access to the PUBLIC
folder in the Data Manager. This is where you and other members are free to upload
and download any type of file you wish. Only registered members can upload files!
Guests can only download files.
If you aren't
a registered member, you can login using the Username 'guest' with the Password
'guest'. If you'd like to be a member, you can register and
obtain your own Username and Password. |
The first step to sharing your information is to login
to the site. Use
the Username and Password you received when registering, or login as a "guest".
