Our Clarke
The organization whose long-running monitoring of the Shenandoah supplies the data presented by The Downstream Project's WaterWatch tool, described in the September 2025 issue.
A river-monitoring nonprofit whose water data feeds a public online tool called WaterWatch, launched by the Berryville-based Downstream Project as maps and graphs of the Friends' monitoring.
The Downstream Project, a conservation nonprofit based in Berryville, had launched WaterWatch, an online tool presenting Friends of the Shenandoah River's water monitoring data as maps and graphs, as Clarke Monthly reported1. A specific data-sharing partnership between two named conservation nonprofits, with a specific product (a public web tool) as the deliverable. That the monitoring data existed continuously enough for a maps-and-graphs product to be built on it is a fact about the Friends' own programme worth naming.
One claim establishes the WaterWatch partnership and the Friends' role as the source of the underlying data. The organisation's own founding, its monitoring methodology, its geographic scope on the Shenandoah, and the WaterWatch tool's current URL are the natural next research targets.

The tool, who launched it, and whose data it presents.
Printed as a community dispatch submitted by the organization, which the paper states. The issue gives no launch date, only that the tool had launched by September 2025.
