| Abstract/Description or Keywords | In the application you will notice that there are two sections to the tool - Monitoring and Reporting. In the Monitoring section, there is data for: Streamflow; Groundwater Level; Surface Water Quality; Groundwater Quality; Climate. These can be selected, one at a time from the left-hand pane of the application. On the right side of the window, in the 'Results' box, you can use the 'Results' button to show an expanded list of the monitoring stations visible on the map, the 'Filters' button to access filters which let you refine what is shown on the map. In the Reporting section, the first option is 'Watershed'. Selecting this option will display points of diversion for existing water rights in the region, and will allow you to click on any stream, river or waterbody to generate a report describing the watershed, hydrology, existing users, EFN and other watershed characteristics. The other options in the reporting section are placeholders for future enhancements. |
