Watermark Onboarding

• New to Watermark? In the New to Watermark? panel on the right, click Register.
• Already have a Watermark account with another GSA? Just Sign In here with your existing email and password.
• Complete the form and click Sign Up; you will be prompted to confirm your email.

Tip: Landowners use this main portal — the Admin Portal link (top right) is for EMA staff only.

• After signing up, check your inbox for a verification email from Watermark.
• Didn't get it? Click Resend Verification to send a new email.

Tip: Check spam / junk if the email does not arrive within a few minutes.

• Follow the link in the confirmation email to the Create Password page.
• Enter and confirm your new password, then Create Account — your Watermark account is now active.

Tip: Passwords need at least 6 characters with one uppercase, one lowercase, and one number.

• Read the on-screen instructions for setting up your account.
• Click Get Started at the bottom to move on — it takes you straight to Add Water Account, right where the next slide picks up.

Tip: Onboarding is three steps: create a water account, add your parcels, and add your wells if required.

• Get Started takes you straight to the Add Water Account page.
• Fill in the fields on each page, then click Next at the bottom to continue.

Tip: Your Water Account is not the same as your Watermark Account — think separate utility bills for different households. You can create more than one.

• After creating a Water Account you'll see Water Account Created! — choose Manage Parcels to start claiming your land.
• Managing land under separate accounts? Pick Add Another Account first, then claim parcels into each.

Tip: Your Water Account groups the parcels you claim — like separate utility bills for different properties.

• Under Have you received a mailer?, select the GSA that sent it — choose Eastern Management Area GSA.
• Enter the Verification Code printed on the letter EMA mailed you.
• Click Look Up to find the parcels tied to your code.

Tip: The verification code is unique to you — it links your real parcels to your account.

• Select Eastern Management Area GSA, enter the Verification Code from your mailed letter, and click Look Up. Your code and GSA appear at the top.
• Use Claim to Water Account to choose which account these parcels go under.
• Check the box next to each APN you want — or click parcels on the map. The location pin finds a parcel on the map.
• Click Claim Selected. A popup lets you claim more parcels or open the Parcel Map.

Tip: This EMA verification step links your real parcels to your account — the code is unique to you.

• Open Parcels from the menu — your claimed parcels are highlighted on the map.
• Use the + / – buttons to zoom to a parcel.
• Switch between Water Accounts with the account selector (top right).

Tip: No well on a parcel? Open its cog and mark No Wells on Parcel — you can also note recycled or surface water there.

• Click your parcel on the map to open its card — it shows the APN and Eastern Management Area GSA. Manage Parcel opens its details.
• To add a well, click Register Well. Watermark confirms the well's latitude/longitude, then opens the registration form.

Tip: Each parcel can have multiple wells — repeat for every well you operate.

• The form has sections — Introduction, Location, Identification, and more — listed down the left.
• Review what you'll need, then click Next. Complete each section, clicking Next to save as you go — then Submit on the last one.

Tip: You'll need details like status, well type, drilling info, and pump/extraction data — fill in what you can.

• The Water Accounts page lists each account with its primary contact, parcel count, and well count.
• Open an account's cog for Account Details, Water Use, Manage Parcels, or Manage Wells.
• Create more accounts anytime with Add Account, or Join by Code.

Tip: Share an account from Account Details → Invite Member (using its Access Code), and add operators under Contacts → Add Contact.
