Add a comment that describes what you’re sharing. Keep it brief, but informative. Include hashtags! This helps other members who exploring the community. Feel free to double check the location of your report before sharing. Share it! Water Reporter adds your report to the community and e-mails it directly to water quality professionals operating in the same watershed. As confirmation, you will get an email telling you who received a direct notification of the report.
