Hi @DalalAlmotwaa!

At this point, we unfortunately can’t add new approved data sources to those listed on the [competition page](https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/143/tick-tick-bloom/page/650/#feature-data-1). The list of approved sources on the competition page is based on discussion with subject matter experts at NASA about the most important variables, combined with input from water quality managers about what is feasible for them to use as input to a model on a regular basis.

Best of luck, and we look forward to seeing your work!
