Mobilize your volunteers with a pro account
Pro is the ideal plan for growing programs and organizations aiming to create a culture of volunteers that contribute to data collection campaigns. A pro account gives you and your team access to a central dashboard that allows your organization to:
Campaigns allow data collection to connect with anyone
Whether you’re engaging volunteers to share observations on wild and scenic places, sea level rise, or muddy water from erosion, campaigns can help you aggregate the data you need in the format and structure that works best for your organization. We’ll handle setup and design so you can focus on the important stuff like outreach, trainings, and getting everyone to contribute.
Create live monitoring maps
Sharing a simple map of your monitoring sites and results shouldn’t be a six-month thought exercise. Water Reporter’s pro account enables users to upload a standardized data set of sites and readings to create a portable map that can be shared anywhere.Here’s what some our users are saying
Matt Pluta
Choptank Riverkeeper at Shore Rivers
“Water Reporter is a valuable tool that provides a meaningful visualization of our water quality data. It solves some of our biggest challenges by generating a map of our monitoring sites, associating readings to determine trends, revealing historic ranges, and allowing us to integrate a dynamic monitoring map and results into our website and social media.”
“Water Reporter gives us more eyes and ears to understand and respond to our watershed”
“Water Reporter is transforming how we connect with our volunteers to address threats to water quality, collect data, and build a true community around clean water.”
