GIS in Water Resources Term Projects

Each year the students in the GIS in Water Resources course write a semester term paper summarizing a piece of original investigation in the use of GIS to study water or related environmental issues. The term projects for the Fall 2006 semester are presented on this site. Term projects from the previous ten years are available from Dr. Maidment's digital term paper library.
