The web-interface on DROPLET has been developed to be very user friendly and easy to use. However to help users get the most out of DROPLET we have developed a User-Guide which provides a user-manual type over view of DROPLET.
Download the DROPLET User Guide . The User Guide is a PDF document which should be easy to open by all devices and operating systems. The document is approximately 4MB in size.

DROPLET has been developed in-house by the Environmental Protection Agency. While the exact IT specifications will not be of interest to most users we feel that it is useful to provide some details. DROPLET has been developed using PHP and uses an SQLITE database as the back-end database application. The web-interface has been developed to be responsive across all devices and screen-sizes. Twitter Bootstrap has been used as the front-end framework. JQuery is used to provide some additional Javascript functionality. Finally, Leaflet is used to provide simple, yet powerful, open source mapping web-based functionality.
