Here’s how to use the tool:

1. Take a moment to think about water related issues you have experienced or are aware of within the watershed. Potential issues may relate to flooding, surface water quality, groundwater quality, compliance with water related regulations, the effect of global warming on water resources, etc. They may be specific to a particular location or they may apply to the entire watershed.

2. For issues that are specific to a particular area, use the Search for tool  or the Zoom tool     to locate the area on the map. General comments that apply to the entire watershed may be entered at any location.

3. Once you have zoomed to the appropriate location, enter, remove, or submit your comments using one of these tools from the Comment Tool Bar:

a.     Select the Create Comment tool  and click on a point within the watershed where you would like to create a comment. This tool will create a point and allow you to enter information about that point.

b.     The Remove Previous Comment tool allows you to remove comments.

c.     The Send Comment tool  allows you to submit your comments to the watershed district and asks for some basic information about you. Once you have submitted your comments, they will disappear from your web browser.
