Citizen Science Group

Question answered

• How can I be involved in the water quality data collection activity (I believe/suspect something's wrong with the water at place X, how can I post a report about my findings)

How the question is answered

• Without the extension, the portal was "read-only" so there's no way a citizen can post his/her observation.

Data sources

• The user uploaded water quality observation reports

Initial tasks
