The Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA) is responsible for regularly collecting and reporting landfill emissions to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). DSWA is performing routine data collection and reporting using Microsoft platforms to evaluate landfill emissions. With daily collection, DSWA sought opportunities to streamline current protocol by increasing efficiency and reducing report generation DNREC submissions.
To assist DSWA with their monitoring of landfill gas emissions, JMT and DSWA developed a Survey123 application from existing reports. The application integrates real time weather data for the collection area from a publicly available API. Collected survey metrics were exported to a template for submission to DNREC.
The talk will review the process of developing a Survey123 application using Survey123 Connect with a focus on integrating a real time weather API to automatically update specified survey fields.
