The Water Quality Explorer is an interactive app for viewing water quality trends at Devereux Slough. COPR interns and staff collect weekly measurements of temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and salinity at multiple sites. Updated monthly, the app lets users explore yearly, seasonal, and daily variations in these parameters. These data support long-term monitoring by reserve staff and provide a valuable resource for researchers. We hope this tool encourages new studies of this dynamic ecosystem, which is vital to birds, insects, and rare species such as the endangered Tidewater goby.
