8月8日的My Watershed应用程序分析

The mission of the Lefthand Watershed Center is to assess, protect, and restore the quality of our watershed and to serve as a hub for watershed issues by fostering stakeholder collaboration. The My Watershed app will help us reach our four primary goals: (1) Understand the State of the Watershed, (2) Facilitate Stakeholder Cooperation, (3) Promote a Stewardship Ethic, and (4) Plan and Implement Projects. The My Watershed app allows us to create projects on CitSci.org, create datasheets/protocols, and then implement these data collection protocols for any project we create by having volunteer community scientists help us collect the data we need to reach our vision. The app syncs with CitSci.org and send data to this citizen science platform. The target audience of this app are scientists and researchers. The users of this app are required to create a login at CitSci.org (free), join a project, and download data sheets to the app on this device. Once an observation is collected, it is uploaded to the CitSci.org website. The data from each observation can be used by the tools on the website (CitSci.org) to generate maps and reports to decision makers about resource management. This app is intended for any scientist or researcher in the world to capture and help coordinate information. However, the app's primary distribution is the United States.
