Throughout the nation, citizens in communities large and small are working together to restore watersheds. These restoration efforts focus actions that result in significant improvements to water quality, upland and riparian vegetation, wetlands, and fish and wildlife habitats. One component of the effort is this "Interactive Watersheds" Internet web site project.
Using multimedia technologies, individual watershed partnership web sites provide organizations and individuals a place to share restoration techniques and contributions to ecosystem recovery. These web sites also create an open communication process where citizens can become engaged in real time interaction with the restoration work.
Finally, the "Interactive Watersheds" project provides community workshops where citizens can develop skills to create their own multimedia projects and web sites. The ultimate goal of this project is to create web sites that are supported and maintained by local communities into the future.
The written material and links provided here serve as an on-line form of workshop and a source of information about photographic, multimedia and web site development. This is intended to help citizens learn how they can continue the development of information sources for their own Interactive Watershed web site now, and in the future.
