Guide for Contributing to the CUAHSI Water Content Portal

CUAHSI - Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.

The CUAHSI Water Content Portal is a community-driven resource. We rely on contributions from water science researchers and educators to keep our learning materials accurate and comprehensive.

Ways to Contribute

There are three primary ways you can help improve this resource:

  1. Suggesting Platform Edits: Reporting typos, broken links, or platform bugs.

  2. Request to Add Your Existing Content: If you have educational water learning materials on GitHub that you would like to be hosted on our platform, please reach out to help@cuahsi.org with a link to your educational material(s) and a description of how and where this fits in the CUAHSI Water Content Portal.

  3. Keep Your Content in the Portal Up-to-Date: Once your content is added to the portal, notify us in a GitHub issue when your repository existing in the platform has been updated, e.g. individual chapters in the Hydroinformatics book: Example syncing

Content Managment Workflow

This portal aggregates educational resources directly from contributor’s external repositories using Git submodules. A description of this workflow is described below using Chapter 1 of the Hydroinformatics book as an example:

This approach has served as an facile and effective way to ingest and update content in a trackable manner.
