Please enter your environmental data here, whoever and wherever you are:
Water temperature * Nitrate * Total Phosphorus

This open sharing site is for all the students, teachers, community groups, and researchers who have collected nutrient and temperature data on streams, rivers, estuaries, lakes and ponds. 

My questions are, 
1. Can we self-assemble a composite data structure to visualize our own watershed?  All the watersheds in our state?  Our whole continent?

2. Can students, schools, and communities undertake local remediation projects, habitat restoration, and legal actions to decrease the nutrient pollution and lower the water temperature in our local streams?

3. If we can improve our local conditions, will that improve conditions downstream?  Will improvements accumulate?

4. Can the generation in front of us right now save our aquatic ecosystems, and preserve the drinking water in our cities, with its own hands?

Click Manual Entry to get started.  The timestamp can be entered from a pulldown calendar.  Please convert your units to mg/L.  There's sample a data set below which was spun off for a spot on the Saugus River.
