Under the guidance of Steven I. Gordon, graduate students and planners in The Ohio State University's City and Regional Planning Program (OSU CRP) have created a screening tool based on geographical information systems (GIS) and data provided by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that can provide planners, environmental organizations, government agencies, and concerned citizens an interactive opportunity to examine potential changes and their effects within particular watersheds throughout Ohio. It can also provide information on the potential impacts of certain changes on the biological diversity in the inter-related rivers and streams.
A full length report detailing the research and methods supporting this interactive mapping and web-based watershed information sharing approach can be viewed by clicking here - See full report. This report is available in PDF format.
