Spring 2011 TMDL Project: Who's doing what?

  • Descriptive:
    • Work on this TMDL summary page (that the class created in 2009)
    • Work on this specific TMDL page (that the class created in 2010)
    • Lower Salinas River Watershed Chlorpyrifos and Diazinon TMDLs
    • Lower Salinas River Watershed Nutrient TMDL process
    • Work on the Ag Waiver wiki page


Spring 2011: Who's doing what?

Spring 2010: Updating the issues pages: who's doing what?

  2. ESP - Los Padres Reservoir Capacity Issues
  3. SAC - Salinas Valley Seawater Intrusion
  4. TB - "Urban Discharges to Areas of Special Biological Significance on Monterey Peninsula"
  5. CN - Basin Complex Fire Erosion and Debris Flows

Carmel Watershed Mapping Project: Creating Maps of the Carmel River Watershed

As you create drafts, post them here.

Posting images is a two stage process:

  1. Upload the image. See the link in the left sidebar called 'Upload file'.
  2. Create a link to the file in your page. See link in the left sidebar for 'General MediaWiki Help'.
