Goose Creek Association uses the Water Reporter app as an essential tool in support of our Goose Creek restoration campaigns.

Water Reporter users join an online community of individuals and organizations working to map and protect their local water resources. Developed by Chesapeake Commons, this mobile application for Android and iPhone has been deployed nationwide in dozens of watersheds as a way of crowd-sourcing geo-referenced images of waterways, and reporting water quality threats in real-time.

Water Reporter is part of the Water Watch program developed by the Downstream Project.
