Tips for Taking Water Waste Photos

• DO aim to capture an overview of the scene.
• DO try to include a reference point (such as an address painted on the curb) that will help us locate the water waste when we’re in the field.
• DO show where the water waste may be originating from, if possible.
• In general, a wider perspective is most helpful; however, DO include close-up photos if needed to show specific details about the source or nature of the water waste.

150 MB limit.
