Anyone can contribute a new case study. You must be logged in to edit any page.
Starting a New Case
Use this form to create a new case by entering a descriptive title for the case. After entering a title, you'll be taken to the online entry form for a new case. You may want to see our guidance on naming cases.
Contributing Content
You can contribute as much (or as little) content to a new case as you want. AquaPedia is a collaborative process and others can also contribute to any new case. Starting a case should not feel like an arduous task. You only need to add what you feel comfortable contributing based upon your knowledge and experiences.
Offline Editing
New cases can be prepared offline and then added via the online form (use cut-and-paste for each appropriate section), or can be prepared offline and emailed to an AquaPedia editor, who will add the content to AquaPedia. All AquaPedia staff are part-time or volunteers to the project, and this method may take a long time to complete. A contributor may also use a hybrid method: submit the content using the online form, but email the completed case to an editor for help with formatting and including images or other more time intensive tasks.
A simplified and annotated word document version of the online template and instructions for emailing it to an editor can be found here.
