Download and print
the paper datasheet below or make one of your own with columns for time/date, site name, latitude, longitude, flow condition, comments, and if you took a photo (y/n)
You will need to record the site coordinates using either a handheld GPS or a device that can determine your location (i.e., smartphone).
Photos are optional but you will need a camera or photo device (i.e., a camera phone) if you wish to upload a photo with your observation.
