**Community** 

# The water community.

The people who design, build and run observation in this industry: engineers, operators, researchers and the communities the systems serve.

[Plan with us](https://observatory.global/industries/water/contact/)

[Use cases](https://observatory.global/industries/water/use-cases/)

Reference design, drawn to scale · drag to turn

**01** Why a community

## Observation is built by many hands.

Engineers, operators, researchers and residents each see a part of the system. The community puts the parts in one place.

### Join

One account for every community, every platform and the NXS Observatory app.[Create account →](https://observatory.global/register/)

**02** 

### Contribute

Methods, templates, field notes and data, reviewed in the open and credited to the people who made them.[What is open →](https://observatory.global/industries/water/open/)

**03** 

### Build together

Groups form around use cases, regions and technologies, proposed by members.[Use cases →](https://observatory.global/industries/water/use-cases/)

**02** Code of conduct

## One standard for every space we host.

- **Respect** Disagree with ideas, never with people. No harassment, in any form.
- **Evidence** Claims carry their source. Measurements carry their method.
- **Credit** Work is credited to the people who did it, under the licence they chose.
- **Safety** No instructions that put people, sites or networks at risk.
- **Privacy** No one's personal data is posted without their consent.
- **Authority** Official warnings and decisions stay with the bodies that hold them.
