Site activation and Datamap
Sites not sampled in the last 12 months (24 months for Riparian Evaluation and Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment data) are considered inactive and available for monitoring. Entering data for an inactive site or a newly created site will update its status to active.
Once data is available for a site, it will be included on the Datamap, which is updated with the previous month's data at the beginning of every month.
