Online Survey: Data Sources in the Klamath Basin

Overview

The database structure containing the Klamath Basin metadata is powered by DaDaBik, a front-end interface for the underlying data. At any time you can access this page through the "Return to Survey Instructions" link at the top of the database page.

With your unique user name, you have the ability to enter, review, edit, and delete your own entries. You cannot change, remove, or add information on behalf of someone else, though you will be able to view all records in the database. Everything is keyed to your Unique ID (Client_ID).

Select An Active Table

The database is organized in 4 major steps. These steps are associated with active database tables, selected within the dropdown box below the navigation bar in the database:

Step	Active Table	Purpose
Step 1	1_Organization	Provide your contact information and role in the basin
Step 2	2_Projects	Identify project(s) that you or your group are conducting in the basin. Multiple projects can be identified--these projects are the "anchor point" for subsequent steps. Provide additional comments if appropriate.
Step 3	3_UpperBasin 3_LowerBasin	This identifies where each project was conducted. The Upper and Lower Basin are separated into two active tables, for convenience. Be as specific as you can to identify the watershed or key reaches. Enter multiple records for each watershed, where appropriate.
Step 4A	4_Data_Parameters	For data collection projects only. For each project, identify the best category or categories of the types and condition of data your project has collected. Enter multiple records for each data parameter. Provide details in the comments section to be more specific, if appropriate.
Step 4B	4_Synthesis_Reports	For syntheses, reports, or analyses only. For each project, enter information about the type of report or analysis conducted. Enter multiple records for multiple reports/ synthesis outcomes. Provide details in the comments field.

Repeat Steps 2 - 4 for each project your group has conducted. The information is intended to provide other users with a category, status and availability of information that would be useful for consideration in a monitoring plan outlined in the Agreement.

Step Four: Enter information about the parameter(s) included in the project (4_Data_Parameters and 4_Synthesis_Reports)

Following the identification of where each project was conducted in Step 3 above, this step allows users to categorize what data was collected or synthesized. Two active tables are set up for this purpose:

4_Data_Parameters is designed for projects where physical data are collected.

4_Synthesis_Reports is designed to provide information about the subject information that has been summarized or synthesized in a single report, brief, or other form of analysis.

Both tables can be completed for each project, with multiple records in each where necessary.

in instances involving cross-collaboration in data collection or analysis.
