Our latest interactive map, using Mappler X technology was featured by River Network. This map allows users to find River Network partners, locate a nearby Water Group, view data on teal-time stream flows, observe local watersheds, and more!
More information about the map can be found here.
VERTICES, LLC. has partnered with the Barry Conservation District (Barry CD) to create a Thornapple interactive map (below), which displays various layers of information of the Thornapple River Watershed, including the Watershed Management Areas (WMA), land use and hydrography of the watershed. This visual representation of information allows for a detailed analysis of the site to determine the pollution levels of the water.
For more information about the project, visit www.barrycd.org

By capturing rainwater, rain barrels encourage water conservation and help reduce stormwater pollution. The Rain Barrel Registry will showcase the many thousands of rain barrels now in use around the US and provide incentive for more people and communities to get involved and make a difference. This app and interactive website were developed in partnership with River Network and IMRivers by Vertices, powered by Mappler.

Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 liters of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat.
