## What is OurWater?

OurWater is the new name of MyWell. Same app, same account, same stations and readings, now for every kind of water, not just groundwater.

OurWater is developed by Alan Siu Lung Ng and Basant Maheshwari at Western Sydney University. It is part of the MARVI initiative - Managing Aquifer Recharge and Sustaining Groundwater Use through Village-level Intervention (www.marvi.org.in).

OurWater helps communities and field teams monitor and sustain their local water resources — groundwater, rivers, springs, wetlands, lakes, ponds, rainfall and other water sources, along with water quality — turning everyday field observations into clear, shareable data for better decisions about a shared resource.

OurWater puts scientific monitoring in the hands of the people who depend on the water.

Record a monitoring station once, then log readings over time — water levels, flows, rainfall, water quality and field notes — straight from your phone. Tag each station with its exact location, attach a photo, and see everything on a map.

KEY FEATURES

• Monitoring stations — register wells, rivers, rain gauges and other water points with their location and details, organised by area.
• Field readings — record water-level, flow, rainfall and water-quality measurements with the date, time and units that matter for your work.
• Map view — see all stations on an interactive map, group them into monitoring areas, and use your location to find nearby sites.
• Photos — attach photos to document sites and field conditions.
• Analytics — view trends and charts to understand how your water resources are changing over time.
• Your water, your view — choose wells, rivers, rain or any other water type in the menu, and the home page welcomes you to MyWell, MyRiver or MyRain.
• Teams & organisations — collaborate with your group; administrators manage members and shared stations.
• Works across devices — the same account works on the web and on your phone.
• Multi-language interface.

WHO IT'S FOR

Villagers, Bhujal Jaankaars (BJs), field workers, researchers, and organisations involved in participatory water monitoring and sustainability.
