HydroServer LiteWeb Client

HydroServer Lite is a hydrological data hosting server. It is designed to be used by any organization that collects water resource data. It is sophisticated enough to be used by research universities and government organizations, yet simple enough for elementary schools and local citizen groups to use. HydroServer Lite can manage, display and share hydrological observations. Hydroserver Lite is a lightweight, user friendly, web based version of the CUAHSI HydroServer written in PHP. It can be run on any web hosting service that supports PHP and MySQL. It is fully compatible with the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System including HydroDesktop. An exciting development with HydroServer Lite Web Client is its full translation into Spanish.

CUSTOM BANNERS: Once you have installed your HydroServer Lite software, you may want to replace the default banner with something customized for your site. You can replace the default banner file by replacing this file: client/images/WebClientBanner.png. Make sure to rename the file as “WebClientBanner.png” before uploading it so that the software will find it.
