Abstract
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division Georgia Adopt-A-Stream program has launched an interactive online water quality database to serve the state of Georgia. This online database is intuitively simple to navigate, requires minimal software – some data has been developed for display on Google Earth – and is free and open for the general public to access. All water quality data can be viewed online. In addition, all data can be downloaded in Excel files. The database also collects programmatic information such as levels of volunteer, local coordinator and trainer participation. Since launching the database, the program has seen a two-fold increase in participation
