Reviewer comments

The water quality data does exist per resource with the right parameters. However, the system is not easy to use. It does not allow download of the data in bulk of machine readable format, and it is not openly licensed. https://www.siac.gov.co/contenido/contenido.aspx?catID=48&conID=47
