    Abstract
    We demonstrate a semantically enabled approach for environmental monitoring as embodied in our semantic water quality portal. The portal assesses water quality utilizing two data sources, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), by the user’s choice from a number of regulations, e.g. federal level regulations established by the EPA as well as state departments of environmental protection. The portal identifies pollution events using an OWL-based reasoning system and provides browsing facets generated from provenance data encoded using the Proof Markup Language (PML). We show how exposing these measurements and their provenance as semantic data enables them to be combined with additional external data sources to look for correlations between pollution levels and health effects seen in nearby populations. This submission highlights the interactive demonstration aspects of the portal and augments the more detailed technical description of the semantic infrastructure, reasoning, and benefits of the approach that has been accepted for presentation in the Semantic Web In Use track.;
