Waterspace: Web-based tools for watershed management

EPA Region 5 and Office of Research and Development have joined with several state agencies and academic institutions to form a consortium, the Midwest Spatial Decision Support Systems Partnership for Watershed Management.

The Partnership has assembled a set of Web-based on line GIS-based and modeling tools to enable local managers and others concerned about the potential impacts of land use decisions upon watersheds and water bodies to run alternative site-specific scenarios for their precise locations. These software tools are produced by various members of the Midwest Spatial Decision Support System Partnership, including Purdue University, Michigan State University, and EPA.
