Water, made visible for your community
MyWell is a free, community-focused water monitoring and learning app, built on the MARVI approach to participatory groundwater management. Record readings from wells, rain gauges and other local water sources — then see them on a map and watch the trends.
Works in your browser and on iPhone today — the Android app is on the way.
One place for your local water story
While its foundation is groundwater, MyWell supports broader local water monitoring — rainfall, surface water, water quality and water storage systems.
Stations for every source
Wells, boreholes, rain gauges, check dams, rivers, springs, reservoirs, rainwater tanks and more — with photographs, notes and locations.
Interactive map
Every station on one map. Draw a monitoring area to focus on the wells, gauges and dams that matter to you.
Trends and comparisons
Compare current and historical measurements with simple charts, summaries and seasonal patterns.
See it in action
The same app, from the field to the big picture — pick your stations on the map, record a visit, and watch the trend build.
Get the app
MyWell runs in any modern browser — and as a native app on Android and iOS.
MyWell for iPhone is on the App Store today. The Android app is in pre-release testing — tap its badge (or email us) and we'll invite you to the tester programme. The web app has every feature too.
Who is it for?
MyWell is designed for farmers, community volunteers, schools, universities, researchers, non-government organisations and government agencies. It supports practical learning, citizen science and informed discussion about groundwater, rainfall, surface water and other local water resources.
Everything you need to monitor local water
From a single village well to a national dataset — the same simple tools.
Stations for every source
Wells, boreholes, rain gauges, check dams, rivers, springs, reservoirs, rainwater tanks and more — with photographs, notes and locations.
Field-ready recording
Log groundwater levels, rainfall, water quality, surface water and storage readings in seconds, right at the station.
Interactive map
Every station on one map. Draw a monitoring area to focus on the wells, gauges and dams that matter to you.
Trends and comparisons
Compare current and historical measurements with simple charts, summaries and seasonal patterns.
Water-quality safe bands
Quality readings are charted against safe-range guidance, so out-of-range values stand out immediately.
QR codes on stations
Print a QR code for a station; scanning it opens that station directly in the app — perfect for shared field sites.
Teams and organisations
Work as a group: organisations manage their own members, stations and data, with clear roles for contributors and viewers.
Bulk data upload
Bring existing records with you — template-based file uploads move whole station histories into MyWell.
60+ languages
The whole app — menus, forms, guided tours — is available in more than sixty languages.
How it works
Four steps from "we should watch that well" to a living record your whole community can read.
Create a free account
Sign up with your name and email. New members can record data straight away, and a built-in tour shows you around.
Add your stations
Register the wells, rain gauges, dams or springs you monitor — name, location, type, photo. Each gets its own page and code.
Record readings
On each visit, log the water level, rainfall or quality readings — with photos and notes if you like.
Watch the trends
Charts and summaries build up automatically. Compare seasons, spot declines early, and share the picture with your community.
A shared, public water dataset
Every MyWell reading joins a shared dataset that anyone with an account can explore — usable for non-commercial education, research and community water management. Community records sit alongside major public datasets.
🇦🇺Australia — groundwater
Bureau of Meteorology bores from the Global Groundwater Monitoring Network — about 25,000 wells with decades of water-level history.
🇮🇳India — groundwater
Central Ground Water Board stations via the Global Groundwater Monitoring Network — about 40,000 wells with quarterly readings.
🇦🇺Australia — rivers
WaterNSW surface-water gauges, with millions of river-level readings across New South Wales.
🌏Your community
Readings from farmers, volunteers, schools and researchers — the MARVI citizen-science record that started it all, growing every day.
Personal details stay private: who recorded a reading is visible only inside their own organisation. See the privacy policy for the fine print.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most.
How much does MyWell cost?
Nothing. MyWell is a free, community-focused app developed through the MARVI project for education, citizen science and community water management.
Can I use it on both my phone and a computer?
Yes — the same account works in the web app and the mobile app, and your stations and readings stay in sync.
Who can see the data I record?
Readings join a shared water-monitoring dataset that signed-in users can explore, but your personal details are visible only within your own organisation. Location of stations is part of the shared record; who recorded a reading is not public.
Do I need to be an expert?
No. MyWell was built with farmers, students and community volunteers — a guided tour walks you through the app, and recording a reading takes under a minute.
I forgot my password — what do I do?
Use "Forgot password?" on the sign-in screen and we'll email you a reset code.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, at any time, directly in the app: Settings → Delete account. Your account and personal data are removed immediately.
I have existing records in spreadsheets — can I import them?
Yes. MyWell has template-based bulk upload for stations and measurements, so existing histories can move in without retyping.
