• EPA Safe Drinking Water Challenge QuickStart Guide.docx - "Scenario: (1) learn if your water system is in violation (many are), (2) learn what health risks contamination poses, and (3) engage your local government on the issue. [...] I'm attaching a draft version of a Quick Start guide for our challenge.  It gives more detail on the data tables, data elements, and includes sample API calls for Safe Drinking Water Data. The idea was for developers to be able to browse this document to see if they really want to use the data, rather than have to do a lot of additional digging."

   

  
  "I am awaiting more details on this 2010 census data (waiting on meanings of column abbreviations & units for the numbers in each column). Each point in this file has a lat/long as well as demographic, social and transit info associated with it. I would recommend that participants first work with the lat/long columns so they know where the data is geographically located (columns K & L and the 10 at the end of a column headed refers to the census year 2010).
  
  The remaining columns of interest for coding would be M-AW and BI-BO. I should have more details on these columns next week. Also, some columns in decimal format are percentages and others are in dollars."
