Flagging Website

Our website is live at: https://crwa-flagging.herokuapp.com/

ODSC blog post about this project: https://opendatascience.com/civic-data-science-for-the-charles-river-watershed-association/

Overview

This is the code base for the Charles River Watershed Association's ("CRWA") flagging website. The flagging website hosts an interface for the CRWA's staff to monitor the outputs of a predictive model that determines whether it is reasonably safe to swim or boat in the Charles River.

This code base is built in Python 3.10+ and utilizes the Flask library heavily. The website can be run locally in development mode, and it can be deployed to Heroku using Gunicorn.

For Developers and Maintainers
