Watersheds of the World
The maps and profiles in this special collection of river basin data portray issues affecting water resources, including land cover and use, population density, and freshwater biodiversity. The data is provided in full by Watersheds of the World Online, a collaborative product of four organizations: IUCN-The World Conservation Union, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the Ramsar Convention Bureau, and the World Resources Institute (WRI).
Utilizing Wetlands for Stormwater Management
Wetlands are a natural solution to offset impacts caused by development. They uptake nutrients, improve water quality, increase evapotranspiration, provide wildlife habitat, increase biological diversity, and are aesthetically pleasing. Engineers are taking advantage of this natural BMP, and are using existing wetlands or creating new wetlands for stormwater management.
Water - Use It Wisely Campaign
The Water - Use It Wisely campaign was launched in 1999 to promote an ongoing water conservation ethic among Arizona's rapidly growing population. Following Arizona's lead, nearly 400 towns, cities, states, utilities, and private and public organizations have adopted the Water - Use It Wisely campaign, making it one of the largest conservation educational outreach programs in the world.
