## Description

The Blue Water Task Force Water Quality plugin provides a WordPress Widget that 
displays water quality testing results from the Surfrider Foundation’s Blue Water
Task Force water testing program. Tests are perfomed by chapter volunteers, and 
the results collected in a database, from which the data for this widget is displayed

## Installation

 1. Upload and activate the plugin (bwtf-waterquality.zip)
 2. Drag the Local Water Quality widget to the place in the theme that you would like
    the widget to appear
 3. Enter the Site ID for the site from which you would like results displayed
 4. On some servers, the default method for fetching data (FileGetContents) may not
    return anything. In this case, you can use the ‘CURL’ method.

## FAQ

  What types of tests are used?

Water Quality tests are performed measuring the levels of indicator bacteria (E.
Coli or Enterococcus)

  How are the limits for “Low”, “Medium” and “High” determined?

There are standard levels used for the three categories. Clicking on the “detailed
info” link in the widget will provide more information.

  How can I add a local beach to the testing program?

Tests are performed by volunteers using funds raised from donations by businesses
and individuals. Contact your local Surfrider chapter to see about adding a new 
beach to the program.

  What if there is no local Surfrider chapter?

START ONE! Contact Surfrider’s national headquarters: info@surfrider.org
