Set up your own dataset

You can easily add your organization and dataset, customize your form fields using Water Rangers’ equipment plus your own, and invite your volunteer monitors to contribute. It's free for communities to use.

We've prepared a walkthrough on YouTube to understand the basics.

Built for sharing

We make your water quality data easy to understand with simple visualizations. Want to do more? We follow open data standards so your work can be compared, understood, and acted on. You can download datasets or connect to our open API to pull data into your own projects.
