The page displayed above is used for querying information from the Shoreland Protection Waterbody table.  Some general notes on querying the site table follow:

 

Ø      The wild card character % will allow you to query for word(s) anywhere within Waterbody.

 

Ø      The Municipality and Status columns are a drop down list columns allowing you to select a specific Municipality or Status.

 

Ø      Any combination of columns may be used to formulate your query.  The more precise your query the faster the results will be returned conversely the more general the query the slower the results will be returned.  For example, if your query was built requesting all water bodies in CONCORD then you should expect the query to be slower than a query requesting all water bodies in CONCORD with a status containing the word AI.  It is RECOMMENDED that a municipality always be used when locating one or more water bodies in a specific community.
