Projects

Clicking on the projects link will bring you straight to the 'Project Search' page. There are 3 ways to search for a project on aNSwer:

1. Using the search box
Using the search box that appears on the main 'Projects Page'. Filling more fields in the search area will optimise finding the project you are looking for. If you do not have all the details of the project, simply fill in as much detail as you can. (Can you expand - i.e. to look for a project with a specific subject, how to look for a project at certain date etc)

2. Map Searches
Map searches are useful if you want to find all projects occurring in a specific area, town or hydrological area. There are three map searches to choose from.
