SATURDAY/SUNDAY: Submit a photo with a Condition Monitoring report

For the first time, photo upload is now available for Condition Monitoring Reports!

CoCoRaHS Condition Monitoring reports are a valuable resource for U.S. Drought Monitor authors, agriculture, natural resource managers, and others.

These are pretty easy to do, and our saying is, "Once per week, is all we seek!". They don't (and shouldn't) need to be done every day. We recommend submitting on Saturday or Sunday so that they are available for input into the Drought Monitor on Monday, but if not the weekend, pick a day that works for you and stick with it. They are most valuable when you can submit on a regular basis (weekly) so that users can see the changes occurring. 

The idea behind these is to describe the general moisture conditions at your location and the impacts, whether it be too dry or too wet. It may be helpful to view other Condition Monitoring reports to get an idea of what other people report.

If you've never submitted one, try sharing what is going on in the environment around you with a few sentences and now up to four photos!

The photo upload section is just beneath the observation notes. Be sure to check the Photo Tips for help on what and how to photograph for Condition Monitoring.
