Providing Consistency
A goal of this
project will be to incorporate a basin-wide protocol for watershed
and environmental science education strategies linked to state,
provincial, and national science
and information technology outcomes and content standards.
The
design of the project provides
for integrating diversity and equal access to resources and
information sharing among the six
project sites providing a benchmark for future program expansion. A
basin-wide website and
information sharing procedure will be established so that
participating schools have a format to
follow when designing information for sharing on individual River
Watch websites.
Internet
access will be connected through the Red River Basin Decision
Information Network (RRBDIN)
website. The site is a basin-wide repository of data and information for the Red River of the
North Watershed, developed for the International Joint Commission by
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and Houston Engineering and managed by the International
Water Institute.
The
RRBDIN serves as an information portal for the Watersheds educators,
resource managers,
decision-makers and citizens. The six schools will serve as citizen scientists depositing
information for basin-wide use on the RRBDIN.
