Water Here

Small signs on ditches, footbridges and trailheads. Scan one to see whether that water is running today, how the date compares with a century of records, where the water goes, and who is calling on the river.

Run a ditch, a park, or a taproom? What hosting a marker does for you — it costs printing, and the sign keeps itself current.

You’ll get a watermarked draft instantly — every word sourced from the record. A person checks it before anything prints clean.

The first markers are being checked

Nothing is published yet. Every fact on a marker is verified by a person before it goes up, because a sign cannot be edited after it is bolted to a bridge — so this list stays empty rather than filling with things we have not confirmed.

For ditch companies, cities and districts

If you run water that people walk past, a marker answers the three questions you already field all summer — why is it dry, why is it full in a drought, is it safe — and it updates itself, because the numbers come from the state's own record rather than from a sign that was accurate in 2019.

Your name goes first, your safety language goes on verbatim, and a paragraph of the page is yours to write. Ours is the small line at the bottom.
